DeSantis sent a letter Tuesday to House Speaker Chris Sprowls, R-Palm Harbor, and Senate President Wilton Simpson, R-Trilby, outlining his recommendations. He said he wanted to give lawmakers some leeway with the remaining $6 billion, considering it’s still uncertain when the funds will be given to the states and what the federal guidelines will be on how it can be spent. Some of the remaining funds, though, should go into the state’s reserves, he said.
