By keeping the economy open, maintaining a low tax environment, and being fiscally responsible, Florida’s FY 21-22 surplus is the largest in state history

Bad azz governor.
In 2004 Florida experienced four or five hurricanes in a matter of 8 weeks. Florida was kicked out of the national insurance pool.
Example, those who were carrying Nationwide insurance were contacted with a letter saying while their are no changes, we will now be Nationwide of Florida as we have been removed from the national insurance pool.
Florida was left to figure it out on their own. Creating programs to shore up homes strengthen rooftops etc.
10 years later Florida learned they are only using 25% of FEMA dollars sent into the federal program! You see areas where the Ohio River floods and the Mississippi valley every year, they use most of the flood dollars. I remember Governor Rick Scott saying 'perhaps we should have our own flood insurance in Florida?'
This shows you governors and presidents can do the right thing and make it all work.
Return it to the people. Either reduce property taxes or create a special hurricane fund for overages.
Came to say this - but you beat me to it!
Yes, I can see where that would be a huge problem. Of course, the cost of homes have skyrocketed everywhere I think. Even here in Missouri they are ridiculous with prices the closer you get to the major cities.
You live in the wrong part of florida..
Price you out? Floridians set the price of their homes not the buyers. I just paid cash for my new florida home and sold my NV home at a huge profit. It's call3d inflation.
Time to return some of that surplus back to the taxpayers of FL. Here in Missouri we have the Hancock Amendment that was voted in, in 1980. It's sometimes complex but is part of our state's Constitution. It is to limit the amount of revenue a tax voted for by the legislature will raise without having to be voted on by the citizens. Mel Hancock saw the future, at least he tried to limit government way back then. https://showmeinstitute.org/blog/budget-and-spending/missouris-hancock-amendment-and-the-gas-tax/
So what happens to the surplus, do you know, does it carry over to the next year's budget?
This is what happens when you have a true Republican in office, not the painted whores in Congress.
California used to be this way. Now they're trying desperately clinging on to ghosts of the past but they're way too far gone. It'd take many years to reverse the fiscal problems alone, much less the legal/law side of things. Used to be such a great state...so sad.
I want to move to Florida lmao
No you aren't. There is an empty house in my neighborhood. I'm thinking of buying it too.
You shut your dirty mouth, as he said, we are full.
Now buy that damn house and rent it out to vacationers who are not allowed to vote here.
I just added to it. Became a resident 4 days ago.
Screw sisolak and God save Nevada. It's horribly corrupt even the GOP.
Funnily enough, a friend of mine transplanted to Vegas from Los Angeles a few months ago and he thinks it's the best place ever since he's comparing it to CA.
Too bad it's made of monopoly money.
Exactly, traded unless paper for a real building.
Ron's the Man!
