Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has rejected a proposal to raise the governor’s salary with a three percent increase in the 2025 budget, asserting that an increase is “appropriate for others given the persistent inflation” but not for the governor’s salary.

“I’ve spoken to legislative leaders and asked that they remove a proposed 3% increase for the Governor’s salary in next year’s budget,” DeSantis said in a statement posted to X.

“While this increase is appropriate for others given the persistent inflation in the US economy, it is best to leave the Governor’s salary as is,” he said, garnering praise from several commenters who commended him for setting the “right example”:

I disagree, Trump has a pretty clear idea for our time.

I also like a lot of what RDS has done in Florida.

[Lakeshark]

Those good things he has done don't bother me a bit.

His itchy ears that helped him believe he should run against the one who helped elect him bothers me, and rightfully so. He listened to bad advice, advice that may have derailed his career. That's on him and his advisers.

Really? How could you miss it? Google the beauty.

[TBP]

Exactly. They don’t want real conservatives to show up their RINO leader.

Who stopped that again?

[TBP]

DeSantis wqon counties Trump carried by larger margins than Trump did and won counties like Palm Beach and Dade which Trump lost (and will likely lose again.)

[TBP]

Trump, like it or not, is a big vote generator for the Dhimmicraps.

[TBP]

Donald Trump did that job, by unleashing $25M in despicable attack ads, that started airing shortly after DeSantis’ historic re-election in Nov. 2022.

With an assist from Tricky Nikki.

[TBP]

Wrong on all counts.

[TBP]

He wasn’t even a Republican in 2012 .

There's some question how much of one he is now.

[TBP]

The gop turn out has been low .

And 40% of it has been against Trump. I don't think Donald can expect those voters to come back to him.

[TBP]

What cheating?

[MinorityRepublican]

Sadly I think Ron had the best chance I of smashing Biden.

I think the polls that Trump are leading Biden are BS. It's possible they're true. But I think the media is attempting to control the narrative. They want us to think that Trump has the election in the bag. So we'll stay home and not vote.

[TBP]

You dislike it because DeSantis is doing it and you’ve been told to hate everything DeSantis does.

[TBP]

It was taxpayer funded; that’s why it got vetoed.

[TBP]

You have no idea what you’re talking about.

[TBP]

Because they know their Orange Lord can’t.

[TBP]

That’s the kind of leadership America needs.

He ran for the Reform Party nomination that year. In the process, he called Pat Buchanan a “Nazi.”
