What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Florida, under Governor Ron DeSantis, reduced its tax-supported debt by retiring bonds ahead of schedule. The state's debt fell from $17.5 billion in 2018 to $8.7 billion by 2026, despite a population increase of more than 10 percent. This strategy has saved taxpayers between $1 billion and $2 billion in interest.
