Without raising the pay for state workers at Desantis proposed budget for 2025-26-TALLAHSSEE Democrat

On Monday, the governor said the state budget proposed by $ 115.6 billion for 2025-26 emphasized “fiscal responsibility” and made a significant reduction in the number of people the state hires.

The proposed cost plan is his first in four years without raising payment payment for state workers and will remove a net amount of 741 jobs in the country. Assanthis said it plans to reduce $ 3 billion in costs and to increase state law enforcement and pay for the fire department.

However, it will call on the legislature to provide a 25% increase in pay for all current civil law enforcement officers and a 20% increase in their entry level pay, which ranges from $ 46,443 to $ 52,500, depending on the agency.
