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”:

“DeSantis not supporting the bill is a Deep State lawfare friendly thing that he does.”
This is a flat-out lie fed to you to repeat. Please put down the Kool Aid.
And now you want to argue that such a voluntary fund is bad?
LOL!!!
First of all, it only applies to “Florida residents” who are running for president. Not to just anyone.

It would have authorized taxpayer money to Trump.

You proved nothing.
Seriously dude?
You gave me three articles from the corrupt media that doesn't cite anything.
In post #79, I went right the the fricken proposed law SB 1740 and the existing law SB 1738 and I cited the wording in the laws.
What is wrong with you????
Actually I agree with you.
But you neglect something. That takes TIME. The AssPress (thanks for that witty remark 5th) started working on Trump literally the day after he won. I even remember the moment he was coming down an escalator in Trump tower and the leftist reporters were asking him questions in an unfriendly tone and on topics that were confrontational. I thought: “what’s up with this? He just got elected”. Little did I know it was only the beginning.
RD would be much less smeared by Election Day than Trump is now, much less the even more unfairly smeared Trump will become.
“RD would be much less smeared by Election Day than Trump is now”
I don’t really want to get into any big theoretical debate, but I don’t agree with that. If Desantis had won the nomination and polls showed he was winning they would crucify him. Nothing would have to be true, just like Trump. Rumors say Desantis cheated on his wife when she had cancer, he fooled around with underage girls (I think Trump already floated that one), he advised SEALs to do illegal stuff while in the Navy, he’s under investigation by the DOJ for using campaign funds for personal use, etc. That’s the current modus operandi for the democrats.
