Ron DeSantis: “New York, our closest state population, 19 and a half…”

“I just signed a budget. Four straight years, we've reduced our budget. In the state of Florida. We have 23 and a half million people and a budget of $117 billion. New York, our closest state population, 19 and a half million people and a $269 billion budget. Where is that money going? They're taxing and now they want to tax more and more and more. If you go from JFK to Manhattan, I pretty much throw up on that route because the roads are so bumpy.” (15:10–15:21)
