DeSantis would cut taxes on guns was not on my bingo card

DeSantis would cut taxes on guns, spend millions combatting immigration
The spending plan comes amid a bitter feud with Republicans.

TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Ron DeSantis is asking lawmakers to spend $510 million to combat illegal immigration and create a six-week sales tax holiday on gun and ammunition purchases as part of his proposed state budget for the next fiscal year.

As part of his recommended $115.6 billion budget, DeSantis would spend nearly $590 million to continue a popular home-hardening program and resume back-to-school and disaster preparedness holidays.

He would also create a two-month fuel tax holiday for Florida boaters and repeal the business rent tax, which would save companies $1.6 billion over the next two years.

He wants all the power for immigration related activities, but the legislature wants that power in the hands of the Agriculture Dept to maintain their slave labor force. Not sure who will come out on top.
