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.
