Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has announced a round of one-time $1,000 bonuses for first responders—including firefighters and law enforcement officers—saying on May 5 that “we’re funding the police and then some.”
DeSantis traveled to Satellite Beach, Temple Terrace, and Fort Myers to announce the bonuses for around 174,000 first responders across the state, including for paramedics, emergency medical technicians, firefighters, and law enforcement officers.
