The Florida State Desantis Florida of $ 115.6 billion starts in tense weather in Talahasi – Tallahassee Democrat


Whether the governor’s recommendations make overcoming the six previous annual Desantis budget plans can be shaped by how the immigration impasse plays.

Play

The governor’s budget’s proposal Ron Ron Ron Ron Augustis was launched against the backdrop of a prolonged political cloud in Florida Capitol, with the Republican MPs and the CEO of President Trump’s bitter opposition for immigration.

The plan of the cost of the governor, the recommendation of the legislators who actually write the state budget, contains many things such as reducing taxes and raising the salaries of the order that would be appealed to Republican super masters in the chamber and the Senate.

But whether the plan brings the termination of the six previous annual recommendations of the landing budget can be shaped by how the immigration impasse plays. The governor hinted on Monday that a deal with legislative leaders was at work.

“We had great discussions,” Tobanis said at a press conference on Monday morning. “I think we’ll land the plane. I don’t have a message now, but I’m almost sure we’ll get there. “

No details if the deal is outlined

Neither home chairman Daniel Perez, R-Miami, nor Senate President Ben Albrite, R-Wauchula, will not comment on efforts to overcome the division on the immigration plan approved at the special session last week. She has not yet been sent to landing.

Desantis vowed to veto the measure, which gives enhanced authority to the Commissioner for Agriculture Wilton Simpson, as a newly created Chief Immigration Officer. In a budget proposal, published at the end of Sunday, Desantis reduced $ 398 million from farming costs, about 13% of its financing.

The proposal also includes $ 510 million to apply immigration. But the landing spends almost all this through the Ministry of Emergency Management, an agency that he controls.

Talking about her recommendations on Monday, Tannis did not turn to the reduction in Simpson’s budget. But he accepted a softer position on legislators after ridiculed them last week in a series of mayoralties he held throughout the country.

“They have gone bold initiatives in a wide variety of subjects and have really helped to lead the nation,” said Zanthis, giving the Republican legislators some merit for registered voters of the state, now in favor of GOP.

In a rare move, Desantis shares the floodlights

“While I am the most famous of all people here, the reality is that the legislature has played a role in this. This would not be in their nature … not to turn aggressively for illegal immigration, “he added.

Within the budget, the governor also provided a small branch of olives to arts and cultural funding lawmakers. He stunned many legislators last year, veto all funding for grants of $ 32 million, as a small amount went to Fringe liberal festivals.

But the latest plan of Desantis offers $ 27 million next year, with the financing of the provision “provides only for activities and programs that are suitable for all age groups”.

Human said on Monday that “what really hurt some of the cultural things is the amount of” woolen “that was signed by some of that.”

Jennifer Jones, president and CEO of the Florida Cultural Alliance, said, although at the beginning of the budget, “the amount of the governor’s dollar is very friendly.”

What does the budget do

The cost plan called “Focus on Fiscal Liability Budget” is more than $ 3 billion lower than when the current year’s budget has landed, although it is more than its own offer for $ 114.4 billion for 2024 -25.

By law, the governor is obliged to disclose his budget recommendations at least 30 days before the start of the regular session, which begins this year on March 4. The landings barely made a deadline with his release on Sunday night.

However, the Democrats said the outlines were not able to focus sufficiently on the growing troubles of the state’s accessibility. Property insurance, home purchase and rent take a huge share of family budgets, said the leader of the Democratic House Fentrice Driskel from Tampa.

“The governor’s budget proposal focuses on picking up titles and tries to keep it in the national spotlight while leaving Florida’s families behind,” she said. “Florida becomes too expensive for many Floridians, with the cost of insurance, groceries and health, our salaries are growing faster.”

Instead, the manager on Monday pointed to $ 2.2 billion tax reliefs on his budget- albeit the largest share- $ 1.6 billion- covers two years and comes from the removal of the hiring tax offered by its predecessor In the governor’s office, now- American Senator Rick Scott.

The state reduced the tax by 4.5% last year to 2%, and Desantis seeks to continue to stop this year, with complete elimination by 2027.

It also offers a one-year vacation of some of the ownership taxes paid by home buyers, while mostly building its taxes with a familiar array of tax holidays to return to school, preparation of hurricane and fuel with tools and boat and boat purchases.

Among the holidays is a new tax holiday “Second Amendment” from the day of memory until July 4, releasing “ammunition, firearms and related accessories” from sales tax.

As he hinted at the comments last week, Tannis also offers steep promotions for police and firefighters: 20% for entry -level law enforcement officers, 25% for employees of law enforcement authorities and 25% for government firefighters.

Beef Program left in Lerc from a special session

And touching a topic ignored by legislators during the last week’s special session, the Desantis budget includes $ 590 million for the My Safe Florida home program, which will cover another year from the program and a list of homeowners in anticipation of a state recovery after making a hurricane that violates hurricane repairs.

“We still think that should be done,” Zaths said. “We have people who have gone through the program … They have qualified, now they need a grant. But the program exhausted the money. “

The governor’s recommendation reduces the state workforce with net positions 741, pays government debt and retains $ 14.6 billion in various reserves.

In education, Desantis will provide an increase of $ 225 per student for $ 3.2 million in the country, about 2.5% increase. This will bring a student’s cost to an average of $ 9,205, while the governor will also allocate $ 1.5 billion for teachers’ salary increases, which is from $ 246.7 million.

College and universities will also be protected from the increase in training, for 11th Another year, in the budget of landing.

“We have the best value for Florida residents from any country in the country,” said Zanthis.
