I’d sure like to meet these people named “federal”, “stimulus”, and “relief”… they seem to have an awful lot on money to give away. Oh wait… that’s we taxpayers, never mind. As a taxpayer, it would sure be nice to at least receive recognition , or even a thank you, for being forced to fund these endeavors. How about it politicians?… what say you stop using these anodyne phrases and call it what it is, “taxpayer dollars”

As a side note: The US spends more money per-capita per-child in education than any other developed nation in the world… and yet our students rank among the lowest in every education category. Additionally, most local school boards have taxing authority. Why are we ALL being forced to fund for their local school budgets? Most also operate with a required 15% budget surplus. Add in the cost savings from shuttered schools and associated inactive transportation, due to irresponsible political lockdowns… these schools should have ample funding to restart and move forward.

Stop stealing from our children and grandchildren’s future, and LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS!

… carry on

Snidely gives The Legislature and Governor permission to take that 10 Billion in Fed. Recovery money and do what the other 49 States wont do with the money.
That would be:
INFRASTRUCTURE…no not the anything you can think of classifies as infrastructure infrastructure…no the REAL INFRASTRUCTURE.
Build as many miles of those toll roads planned to funnel the tourists into Florida as you can with that 19 Billion. That will pay off big time for Florida for generations to come.
