"Earlier in the process, state funds for the city’s planned downtown soccer stadium evaporated, eventually leading to Orlando City Soccer Club’s decision to privately fund its new home."

 

 

^... I don't care for Scott - but this was a good veto

He didn't have to veto the Orlando City stadium money because the money evaporated before it even made it into the budget.  Kudos on them for privately financing a stadium though once they realized state support wasn't gonna happen.
