In an effort to give Florida startups a boost, Gov. Jeb Bush has proposed that the state legislature earmark $75 million to provide startup and early-stage funding for fledgling companies.
The $75 million is part of a $630 million economic development package that the governor asked legislators to include in the 2006-2007 budget. The package is aimed at helping diversify Florida’s economy and reduce reliance on tourism. The state legislature has 60 days to respond from Bush’s March 7 State of the State address.
I think this happened.
