| Description | Gov. Bill Lee delivered his second State of the State address Monday, calling for a record-setting investment for teacher pay raises, setting aside money for the state's reserves and creating a new $250 million trust fund for K-12 mental health.
The significant proposals were among the main highlights of Lee's nearly 50-minute address. Like his speech last year, Republicans largely praised the governor's speech while Democrats said Lee's various education investments should only be one step in a multi-year effort to increase funding for schools.
And although Republicans touted their support, a few notable lines in Lee's speech left some GOP lawmaker seated.
On this episode, we break down the governor's speech and analyze his proposed $40.8 billion budget. |
