DeSantis strikes again! These types of targeted expenditures make sense.
"Titled “Always Ready Florida,” the three-year plan would spend $270 million on more than 76 projects statewide to help deal with problems like coastal flooding, which numerous studies have shown has been made worse by rising global temperatures.
But much like aspects of President Biden’s Build Back Better and infrastructure plans, the money in DeSantis’s proposal would be spent hardening Florida’s coastal defenses from rising sea levels that the overwhelming majority of scientists have concluded are caused by climate change. To address the prospect of stronger hurricanes made possible by warmer oceans, the funds will go toward building stormwater pumps in coastal communities and burying utility cables. Funds would also be made available for the state to purchase flood-prone properties.
“We’re a low-lying state, we’re a storm-prone state and we’re a flood-prone state,” DeSantis said. “And so we worked with the Legislature to say, OK, how are we going to address this in a way that’s going to protect Florida’s communities, protect our economic livelihood and make sure we’re doing what we need to do.”
