Facing a 6 p.m. deadline, Florida legislative leaders struck a last-minute agreement with the governor to resolve their differences and avoid an embarrassing override of the governor’s budget vetoes Friday. House Speaker Richard Corcoran, R-Land O’Lakes, and Senate President Joe Negron, R-Stuart, agreed to the Senate’s call to restore $60 million of the $114 million cut from higher education projects, $215 million into K-12 education, and pass the House’s version of an economic development bill that restores $75 million to Visit Florida and creates a new economic development grant fund of $85 million.
