Florida Lawmakers Approve $115 Billion Budget Amid GOP Infighting and Tax Revisions

In a recently concluded extended session, Florida lawmakers passed a $115 billion budget that includes significant tax revisions and the largest recurring tax cut in state history. Despite notable infighting within the GOP, the budget ensures millions in reserves amidst ongoing economic uncertainty. Key components of the budget include provisions for education funding and a continuation of the school supply tax holiday, while cuts to property taxes and sales tax repeals failed to gain traction. Lawmakers are now looking ahead as they navigate the implications of this budget on various local projects and special interests amidst a changing political landscape.
