Ron’s Wrecks: The governor’s misplaced budget priorities
Governor DeSantis’ budget priorities are all wrong. Instead of working to improve the lives of Floridians, DeSantis is pouring taxpayer dollars into programs that will harm our citizens, all in his personal quest to gain the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
DeSantis has proposed:
- $12 million to fund his anti-immigrant crusade
- $31 million to fund his dubious and partisan election police.
- $4.5 million to fund anti-abortion fake clinics.
DeSantis wants to defund any governmental entity or educational institution that receives state funds if they:
- Support employees/enrollees/beneficiaries in traveling out of state for abortion care
- Support employees/enrollees/beneficiaries in obtaining gender affirming health care
- Support employees/enrollees/beneficiaries/grantees if they have programming related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) or Critical Race Theory (CRT) or Environmental and Social Governance (ESG).
