Gov. Ron DeSantis recently signed a $116.5 billion budget, but not before vetoing $511 million for mostly local projects.
The veto list is a drop in the bucket compared to past years—it’s less than half of the $1 billion-plus he vetoed in what he called the “veto equivalent of the Red Wedding” three years ago, and far below the $3.1 billion he excised last year.
Some of the vetoes were expected. Nobody expected DeSantis to let the “1619 Fest”—a Black History Month celebration in Orlando—snag $160,000 from the Free State of Florida.
