Tallahassee — Gov. Ron DeSantis approved an austere $115 billion spending plan on the last day of the fiscal year Monday, one that is less than the current budget yet still delivers almost $1 billion in tax savings for Florida businesses.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a new nearly $115 billion state budget into law. Monday's signing ceremony capped a long and combative legislative season marked by GOP infighting.

"I think it was true prior to me signing this budget, but I think signing the budget underscores the fact that Florida is the best fiscally managed state in these United States," DeSantis said at an event in Wildwood on June 30.

Hot on the heels of re-signing defenseman Aaron Ekblad to an 8 year contract extension, there are reports that the Florida Panthers have re-signed pending UFA Brad Marchand to a six year contract worth $5.

Barry broke up around 4 a.m. Monday about 100 miles northwest of Tampico, Mexico, near where the storm had made landfall about six hours earlier.
