This Governor surprises me every day! What a saint.

During an appearance at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, the governor expressed support for budget items aimed at helping manatees.

[FONT=var(--bodyFont)]Gov. Ron DeSantis said Monday he will approve more than $30 million in the coming year’s budget to help manatees, after a record number of sea-cow deaths in 2021 in Florida waters.
The Legislature has not formally sent the proposed $112.1 billion budget to DeSantis, who has line-item veto power.
But during an appearance at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, he expressed support for budget items aimed at helping manatees.
“It will enhance and expand the network of acute-care facilities like the one right here at Jacksonville Zoo to treat injured and distressed manatees,” DeSantis said. “The funding will also support restoration efforts for manatee access to Florida's warm-spring waters, habitat restoration in areas with high manatee populations, manatee rescue and recovery efforts and pilot projects like the supplemental feeding that FWC (the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission) conducted this past winter.”

So he's sticking the residents of Orange County with a $156 million dollar a year tax bill with his grandstanding over Disney but he's going to give manatees $30 million, what a guy, must be there are votes in the manatee loving public or some rescue company he wants to make sure gets their share
 
He realizes that he has almost alienated the blue portion of his purple state, so he's pandering.

But kudos to him. It's a positive move.

America's greatest governor. No wonder the left lies about him constantly.

They wanted Andrew Gillum, who uses drugs and mail prostitutes.
