Other states kept the money and initiated tax cuts for their residents.

There was no hard and fast rule on what the money could be spent on.
Thank Congress for that.
Every example you gave has the states using the money for the benefit of it's own citizens.

DeSantis didn't do that. Instead, he spent Florida money on behalf of Texas. Maybe he owed Abbott for something and this was a payback?

Why? Because Florida hasn't done anything that the Feds haven't been doing.
I dunno...maybe they have Steele composing a "dossier" on this

Got to smear him because he might be running against Biden in 2024 and we all know..."You don't f*ck with the Biden's"

So where in the CARES Act does it state that ?

I sure the folks in FL were pretty happy to ship the illegals somewhere else.

Do you think the illegals are all kept in Texas ?

Here the WH admits they flew "migrants" to NY as well as FL. Of course ALL the planes only contain children....lol. Go read border report...very few unaccompanied minors.

Your own party's mouth admits to flying these illegals to cities all over the US.

https://news.yahoo.com/psaki-confirm...185839952.html

During a press briefing, a reporter asked why the administration is “flying thousands of migrants from the border to Florida and New York in the middle of the night.â€

“Well I’m not sure it’s in the middle of the night but let me tell you what’s happening here. It is our —†Psaki said, before the reporter interrupted with various “very early†morning times that flights have taken place.

“Here we are talking about early flights, earlier than you might like to take a flight,†Psaki said. “It is our legal responsibility to safely care for unaccompanied children until they can be swiftly unified with a parent or a vetted sponsor and that’s something we take seriously.â€
We were discussing if DiSantis was legally spending Florida's covid money.

and good luck going after the legislature

the bill is HB 5001.....and it passed 33 to 0.......100% of the Florida legislature voted in favor of it...that includes all of the democrats

first it's weaponize the IRS....then FBI....the DOJ.....and now the Treasury


"The Republican governor, a likely 2024 presidential candidate, tapped into $12 million from a fund approved by the state legislature to relocate those who have entered the country illegally."

Biden is spending your and my tax dollars flying illegals all over the US.

That sure doesn't benefit the America citizens.

DeSantis will not survive the primaries 2024, because Trump is the only man who knows how to fight fire with fire.
DeSantis will probably end up grovelling for mercy, as most mortals tend to do when faced with a scandal....
