According to James Call for the Tallahassee Democrat, those projects included, “$7 million in special funding categories, $12 million in member projects and an additional $80 million placed in reserve for construction of a new state Emergency Operations Center in Tallahassee.”
Also in the budget is a “5.38% across-the-board pay raise for state workers, along with more money to make $15 a minimum wage for state employment.”
