<p>Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) said this week that the state was returning nearly $900 million to the federal government, something it tried to do repeatedly during the Biden administration.</p>
<p>&#8220;For years, Florida has been trying to return federal funds to the federal government due to the ideological strings attached by the Biden Administration—but they couldn&#8217;t even figure out how to accept it,&#8221; DeSantis said in a post on X.</p>
<p>The governor said that he met with Elon Musk on Friday and the rest of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team and was able to return the money.</p>
<p>&#8220;We got this done in the same day,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;Other states should follow Florida in supporting DOGE&#8217;s efforts!&#8221;</p>
<p>The governor posted the letter that he sent to the U.S. Treasury Department alerting them that the state was formally returning $878,112,000.00 in taxpayer dollars to the federal government &#8220;as part of DOGE&#8217;s efforts.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We will also continue to identify other unused or surplus federal funding granted to Florida and determine if further refunds can be made,&#8221; the governor added in the letter.</p>
