Governor Ron DeSantis has taken several significant actions recently, including vetoing multiple bills and awarding substantial infrastructure grants. DeSantis vetoed a GOP-proposed bill that would have relaxed the crackdown on probation violators, citing concerns over giving an 'undue pass' to second-time offenders. He also vetoed a bill aimed at reducing college costs for prisoners, arguing that criminal activity should not be rewarded. In contrast, DeSantis awarded over $10 million in infrastructure grants to Central Florida cities, including $4.8 million for the Lake Fern Industrial Park in Umatilla and $5.5 million for commercial and industrial projects in Plant City. These investments are expected to create around 300 high-wage jobs in Umatilla and support local economic development. However, he vetoed funding for public safety and flood control projects.
