Governor Unveils Budget Proposal

Governor Bill Lee on Monday unveiled a $55.6 billion state budget proposal stocked with cash for roads, state parks, tax cuts for businesses, state employee pay boosts and more. The plan also fuels a number of areas to benefit health coverage for low-income women and children, and is boosted by better-than-expected revenues. It comes in at $618.6 million less than the current budget, which was boosted by extra federal funding during the COVID-19 scare.
