Gov. DeSantis signs $117.6B budget, cuts $1.6B with vetoes

Florida's Governor DeSantis has approved a $117.6 billion budget for the upcoming fiscal year but used his veto power to cut $1.6 billion from various spending proposals. Notably, he spared $4 million for the Groveland Four families, who have faced legal injustices. However, DeSantis vetoed a bill that would have addressed sovereign immunity, which some argue could have opened the state to more lawsuits. This move highlights the ongoing tension between fiscal conservatism and calls for legal and governmental accountability.
