GOP Lawmaker Slams DeSantis for Veto

Florida state Sen. Joe Gruters (R) slammed Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) after the governor vetoed many Sarasota area projects that had been included in the state’s 2023-24 budget, the Sarasota Herald Tribune reports.

Said Gruters: “The Governor is clearly upset I endorsed Donald Trump for President, and so he took it out on the people of Sarasota County.”

He added: “Simply because I support his political opponent, the governor chose to punish ordinary Floridians who want better water quality, less traffic congestion and increased resources for disabled children to find gainful employment. It’s mean-spirited acts like this that are defining him here and across the country.”
