CRIST: Florida Forever Restored!Alert: Florida Forever Restored!
Governor Charlie Crist today vetoed language in the FY 2008-09 State budget that would have suspended a majority of Florida Forever land acquisitions this year.
Governor Crist’s action restores the debt service necessary for the full $300 million in Florida Forever borrowing this year. This action restores funding for DEP Division of State Lands, Water Management Districts, and Florida Communities Trust.
The Florida Forever Coalition applauds Governor Crist for this action. A copy of his veto letter and a list of vetoed items are attached.
