“Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the state’s new budget of about $115 billion into law Monday, capping the end of a lengthy and combative legislative season that was largely defined by GOP infighting, despite the party’s iron grip on Tallahassee. The signing came ‘right at the buzzer,’ DeSantis said, just one day before the budget goes into effect. It took lawmakers 105 days to finalize the spending plan, during what was supposed to be a 60-day session. The budget comes in at about $4 billion less than the state’s current adjusted budget, and is nearly $600 million less than the Legislature’s proposed budget, after DeSantis used his line-item veto power to cut spending projects. ‘I think what you see in the budget is an example of a very fiscally responsible state,’ DeSantis said.” (06/30/25)
