Â
Welcome to another edition of FT Now! We recognize there's been a lot
of disturbing news this week coming out of Washington. With that in
mind, we're continuing with our practice of rounding up a few of the
top stories you may have missed from the states. For instance, Florida
Gov. Ron DeSantis was targeted by CNN for...wait for it...daring to
challenge one of the network's reporters. Shocking, we know. Another
new study confirms, once again, that Americans are fleeing blue states
in droves. And in Montana, newly sworn-in Governor Greg Gianforte is
making good on campaign promises with his new budget proposal. Read
below for more!

CNN Anchor Calls Florida Governor an "Ass" on Live Television
What Happened:
CNN Host Brianna Keilar called GOP Governor Ron DeSantis an "ass" for
committing the grave sin of challenging a CNN reporter and the
mainstream media narrative about the COVID-19 vaccine rollout in
Florida.
Why You Should Care:
The episode is just another example of the media's bias about
Republican lawmakers. Gov. DeSantis, for his part, responded to his
critics by saying, "The number of times someone has come up to me with
tears in their eyes saying 'if it wasn't for you, my kid would not be
in school and I would not have my job. Thank you.' That is why I'm in
this job."

New Study Finds Americans Fleeing Blue States In Droves For States Led
By GOP Governors
What Happened:
A new study conifers a trend we've been watching for a while now:
Americans are moving in droves from Democrat-run states to those led by
Republican governors. In 2020, the top five states to experience the
largest net-migration in the country were led by Republican governors:
Tennessee, Texas, Florida, Ohio, and Arizona.
Why You Should Care:
The trend is proof positive that Americans really are getting fed up
with high taxes, crippling regulations, and limited opportunity. In
other words: Democrat policies in these states are failing. Full stop.
What Happens Next:
People are desperate to escape big-government approach pushed by liberal
governors in states. Don't expect that to change anytime soon!

Gov. Gianforte cuts taxes, invests in teacher pay, rewards job creation
What Happened:
Montana's new Republican governor, Greg Gianforte, unveiled his budget
proposal this week. It invests in teacher pay, cuts payrolls taxes, and
still leaves about $450 million in reserves.
Why You Should Care:
Gianforte ran on promises like cutting taxes and reducing the size of
government, and his budget proposal delivers. Promises made, promises
kept.
What Happens Next:
Take it from Gianforte: "This is just a first step. As we find greater
efficiencies in government and our economy continues to grow, we'll
continue to cut taxes and make Montana more competitive with our
neighbors. Our goal is to continue cutting tax rates in incremental
steps over time."
