.@GovRonDeSantis says he vetoed $1 billion out of the $93.2 billion state budget for 2020-21 previously approved by lawmakers. Over $550M cut is from his own recommended budget, incl from the Job Growth Grant Fund. #FlaPol

@GovRonDeSantis Florida still has $6.3 billion in reserves, @GovRonDeSantis says in Monday press conference at the Capitol. Also, the money for teacher pay raises previously made the cut.

@GovRonDeSantis .@GovRonDeSantis makes clear his vetoes don't (necessarily) suggest a policy disagreement with lawmakers but rather the "historic" effect of the coronavrius on the state's revenues. #FlaPol
