Watchdog warns that Florida's next budget has sharp increase in "turkeys"

There’s a lot of pork in Florida’s next budget… or is that turkey? Nonprofit watchdog Florida TaxWatch is out with its latest Turkey Watch Report, highlighting more concerning spending than ever and urging the governor to consider cuts with his veto pen before signing. TaxWatch announced its findings during a news conference in Tallahassee on Wednesday. After the annual review of the latest proposed spending plan, which was about $117.5 billion, and lawmakers approved this session, officials found a lot of pork barrel spending. TaxWatch calls them turkeys - they’re essentially state-funded local projects that lack traditional scrutiny, oversight, and review.
