Nice. Ideally they don't have to borrow the money to make the payments. The fact that it's a nice rebuff to the Defund crowd is a bonus.

If it was possible to craft a fair and accurate survey, I'd be curious to know what percentage of Floridians support this. I suspect it might be 80+%? We'll never hear that.

Well, in that case, the money was already borrowed, so I'm happy it's going to a good home.
