Fox News
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is facing some backlash for the way the state decided to distribute bipartisan, one-time bonuses of $1,000 to first responders and teachers, according to local reports.
"They could have just sent the money to school districts at no cost to taxpayers," Andrew Spar, president of the Florida Education Association, said Thursday, according to the outlet. "It sounds like the governor’s wasting money." State Rep. Anna Eskamani, a Democrat, called the move "a joke" in a Thursday tweet replying to the Times' reporting.More Related News
