Explanations of Vote:

  • Eskamani -
    I do not believe that Florida needs to continue funding what is an unnecessary and intentionally cruel program that traffics asylum seekers. We also need to stop funding litigation to defend unconstitutional bills. I would instead recommend that we just not pass unconstitutional bills and allocate those funds towards meeting the needs of everyday Floridians. There are also parts of the budget where we are missing important funding needs, like rental assistance and additional support to eliminate the APD wait list. Parts of the budget that I do support are arts and culture funding -- but even there we need to boost funding for programs to be funded at 100%. I would be remiss if I also did not recognize the funding disparities between Republicans and Democrats in our funding requests. Right now, there are 853 Republican projects funded, and only 140 Democratic projects funded. This is only the draft budget, so I voted yes knowing that there is time and room for improvement.
