Sheriff, we go back a long ways. You know I appreciate you. Agree with you? Nope. But appreciate you, for sure. Go Bulls!

Agreed Dave. Smazza and I have way different political leanings, however when we see each other every five or so years, it's just like yesterday. Family first... politics second. It is fun to poke the bear... and you get really good at it spending so much time at sea on a submarine.

Can you imagine if Gillum won the governorship. He would spend the whole state budget on drugs and his own personal gain before he would spend his life in jail

Here is what Governor DeSantis did sign that were subject to his line-item veto authority:

  • A $55 million recurring increase to USF's operational budget, including new funds for all three campuses and USF Health.
  • $37 million to Cyber Florida at USF to conduct a cybersecurity vulnerability assessment for the state, develop recommendations for improvement, and oversee training of state and local government employees against cyber intrusions.
  • $20.5 million for cybersecurity workforce development, research and simulation activities at USF.
  • $33 million to remodel critical USF Health facilities to add capacity for more nursing students and add state-of-the-art new simulation equipment.
  • $7 million to expand nursing programs at USF to address statewide nursing shortages.
  • $5 million to operate the Florida Center for Nursing at USF’s College of Nursing, a center dedicated to growing the state’s nursing workforce.
  • $72.8 million to invest in the maintenance and repair of existing USF facilities across the three campuses.
  • $3 million to plan for construction of the new Nursing/STEM Building at the USF Sarasota-Manatee campus, the campus’ first new state-funded facility in over 15 years.
  • $6.3 million to invest in campus life facility projects across USF’s three campuses, funded by the Capital Improvement Trust Fund (CITF).
  • $5.5 million to fund the operations of the Florida Flood Hub for Applied Research and Innovation at the USF College of Marine Science in St. Petersburg.
  • $500,000 to study the effectiveness of hyperbaric chamber therapy for veterans experiencing PTSD.

When DeSantis is sitting in the White House in 2024 (hopefully as the VP)…

With David Dukes as president?

Sorry, Slick.  Your man Dukes is abhorred by DeSantis (and most everyone else, for that matter). 😉
