Today,
Speaker Feeney unveiled the online version of the House Priority
Budget, which is accessible at: www.houseprioritybudget.com.
“As the House Speaker, I feel it is important that the
Legislature produce opportunities for Floridians to participate
in and be knowledgeable regarding the legislative process. As
the elected branch closest and most accountable to Floridians,
we must strive to serve the public needs, and continue to
promote an open and transparent government,” stated
Speaker Feeney. |
The
House Priority Budget, which passed the Florida House unanimously
Tuesday, includes $16.3 Billion for Health and Human Services, $15.5
Billion for Education, $9.5 Billion for General Government, $8.5 Billion
for Transportation and Economic Development, and $3.5 Billion for
Criminal Justice.
“Although
the Legislature is facing a challenging budget year, we still have been
able to deliver on promises made to Florida’s citizens. The House has increased funding in education by over three
percent, given a $1.3 Billion increase to promote healthy communities,
and remained committed to returning tax dollars to our seniors and
savers,” stated Speaker
Feeney.
