In March, Gov. Rick Scotts staff said he would accept a $35.7 million Money Follows the Person federal health grant.
But the Legislature appears to have decided otherwise. In the 2011-12 budget Scott just signed, lawmakers failed to give the Agency for Health Care Administration budget authority to draw down and spend the money.
