Florida TaxWatch Out With Latest Budget Turkey Report

Florida TaxWatch is out with its report on budget turkeys, identifying 218 appropriations items in the upcoming state budget totaling nearly $600-million. TaxWatch's Kurt Wenner says in some instances it isn't about the value of the project, but the way it gets into the final appropriations bill without being fully scrutinized or subjected to the budget process. The majority of this year's turkeys are related to water projects according to Wenner who says they'd like to see reforms tied to member projects which is what many turkeys fall under. Governor Ron DeSantis has yet to sign the state's upcoming budget which takes effect on July 1st and totals $117-billion.
