WE’VE GOT ALLIGATORS:
A budget staple targeted in the past by Scott, $150,000 would go to alligator marketing at the Department of Agriculture.
Scott vetoed the line item in 2011, having highlighted the expense as budget fat after telling The Wall Street Journal, “We’re not doing alligator marketing, things like that.”
Since then, the marketing money, voluntarily paid by alligator farmers, has survived Scott’s veto pen.
Lawmakers also allocated $49,000 for public dove-field development and $400,000 for deer management.
