State Budget
Cuts education by 1.3 billion
Cuts taxes by 300 million
Saves one billion through pension contributions
Eliminates 4,500 state jobs.

Governor Rick Scott spent the weekend reviewing the spending plan lawmakers sent him at session end. The 70 billion dollar budget cuts education spending by 1.3 billion, cuts taxes by three-hundred million, saves a billion by forcing state workers to contribute to their retirement and eliminates 45-hundred state jobs. Scott wants to analyze every line before singing off on the spending plan.

“So, it’s supposedly three thousand lines, or different items, so I’ll go through it to make sure it’s helping build jobs or at least not killing jobs,” said Scott.

Scott could veto parts of the budget and sign it, sign it without changes, or veto the entire spending plans and call lawmakers back to Tallahassee to work on another budget.
