As part of the veto list issued by Governor DeSantis after signing the State Budget yesterday the following projects in Central Florida were vetoed:
- Buenaventura Lakes Drainage Improvements for $1,800,000
- Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce for $187,500
- Military History Museum of Osceola County for $765,000
“While I am grateful for the nearly $15 million dollars in local project state funding I was able to secure for our District, I am disappointed in Governor DeSantis’s decision to veto critical funding to support Puerto Rican owned businesses, veterans services and flood relief improvement for residents in Central Florida,” said Senator Victor M. Torres, Jr. (D- Orlando). “I will refile these appropriation requests for next budget year and hope that they Governor will look more favorably on approving them.”
