<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Yesterday Elijah Scott, Executive Director of FALSC, learned that the governor vetoed the entire Complete Florida Plus Program funding, which includes all funding for the Florida Academic Library Services Cooperative (FALSC). See below:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://floridapolitics.com/archives/344583-gov-desantis-signs-corona-impacted-state-budget-vetoes-more-than-1-billion__;!!PhOWcWs!ghZgADgQOy7zV4-D8FpU5rkc68EaGv3cTEOYFYArWB6N1v74cQVMWHo33ir2Bpr9cnfKAVhR9A$" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://floridapolitics.com/archives/344583-gov-desantis-signs-corona-impacted-state-budget-vetoes-more-than-1-billion</a> <br clear="all">
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Within the embedded PDF document, page 16 shows the veto for “Specific Appropriation 161A, Aid to Local Governments – Grants and Aids – Complete Florida Plus Program, From General
Revenue Fund: $29,390,671.” <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If this change stands, FALSC may not survive, which would be devastating for Florida’s libraries. Elijah urges: “we believe it would be helpful if each of you could contact your
administration to make them aware of this veto and of the importance of restoring the Complete Florida Plus Program funding back to the budget in order to preserve FLVC, FALSC, and DLSS.”<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As members of the FACRL board, perhaps we should unite in a message to the Governor’s office as well as considering other measures of support?<u></u><u></u></p>
