Politico reports:
And you get a check and you get a check— DeSantis held a press conference in Jacksonville where he gave $1,000 checks to individual firefighters and law-enforcement officers that were being made available through this year’s state budget. Nearly 85,000 first responders throughout the state will be getting the checks. Oh, and guess what else is about to happen? The state’s gas taxes are going to be cut for a full month starting in October.
Who did that?— The reason that all of this stings Democrats is that DeSantis and Republicans are using money from the federal American Rescue Plan — which provided more than $8.8 billion to the state of Florida — to help pay for this and lots of other programs that the governor is now touting. A new reelection ad paid for by Republicans even mentions the $1,000 bonuses.
Read the full article.
$1,000 bonus checks are in the mail for Florida’s first responders. These checks are a token of our appreciation for all they do to keep our communities safe and secure.
This makes two years in a row that we have delivered for our fire rescue and law enforcement communities. pic.twitter.com/2ZwADmaGNx

This money came from the Democrats #AmericanRescuePlan, that every Republican in Congress voted AGAINST.

Can’t shame the shameless but I’ll try. Here’s Ron DeSantis handing out a bunch of big checks taking credit for Biden’s infrastructure bill. pic.twitter.com/STC6421ww7

At last: the House just passed the American Rescue Plan.
This bold relief legislation will fund a national vaccination plan, safely reopen schools, send Americans relief checks, support the unemployed, and protect small businesses and jobs. I voted YES.
