TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Gov. Ron DeSantis was holding a news conference on Wednesday, in Tallahassee, to explain the tax relief that is included in his Framework for Freedom budget. DeSantis said his 2023-24 budget allocates $1.1 billion to a “family-focused” tax relief proposal, which includes parents’ essentials such as diapers, baby wipes, cribs, strollers, toddler’s clothing, and children’s toys and books.
