During the event he also announced he would sign the state's budget. The police officers surrounding the governor applauded DeSantis for the move, which he said would fund the police "and then some," throwing sand in the face of progressives who want to defund law enforcement. "I asked the legislature in this legislative session, we need to do bonuses for law enforcement," DeSantis said. "Some wanted to defund the police, we’re funding the police, and then some."More Related News
