DeSantis signs bill putting tribal gambling revenues toward wildlife preservation
https://www.yahoo.com/news/desantis-signs-bill-putting-tribal-173004789.html

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed legislation that allocates 96 percent of state income from the Seminole Tribe Compact, the agreement with the state that allows the tribe to offer online sports betting and casino gambling, to improve water quality infrastructure and management. The law, Senate Bill 1638, appropriates a total of $200 million to land purchases and management for a protected wildlife corridor in the state and removal of invasive species.

Once he gets that straightened out, he'll probably demand a huge campaign donation, and guarantees they will all vote for him next time he runs.

It's money from the Seminal Tribe that's going to wildlife protection not money from the state of FL. So in other words, tax money from the tribe will be substituted for tax monies that the state of FL could have contributed.

7. Well that's tax money the State of Florida would have collected so it still counts as Florida's tax money
