| http://www.billnelson.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/following-is-sen-nelsons-statement-on-passing-of-congressional-budget-deal | Following is Sen. Nelson's statement on passing of Congressional budget deal | 2015-12-18 | 2015 | 2015-12 | Democrat | House | FL | Bill Nelson | N000032 | www.billnelson.senate.gov | legacy | While no deal is perfect, this year's budget bill does include a number of projects important to Florida. For example, it gives NASA's overall budget a much-needed boost, which is good news for Floridas space coast. And it fully funds NASA's commercial crew program that will enable us to once again launch American astronauts on American-made rockets in less than two years, instead of having to rely on the Russians for rides to the space station. The bill also gives an extra $7.5 million to scientists and researchers seeking a cure for the deadly citrus-greening disease threatening to wipeout Florida's nearly $11 billion citrus industry, and $195 million to help restore the Everglades. And for the more than 1.7 million Floridians who rely on the state sales tax deduction to help make ends meet, theres a provision in the bill that will make that popular tax break permanent and help Florida families keep more of their hard-earned money in their pockets. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
