Scott's budget director, Jerry McDaniel, notified Supreme Court Chief Justice Charles Canady that the governor has agreed to his request to temporarily shift $14 million earmarked for mediation arbitration and court education within the system's budget to pay for day-to-day operating expenses.
That amount should be enough to keep the courts functioning through April 30, McDaniel wrote in a letter to Canady. He added that it also will give the governor time to gather additional information before deciding on Canady's request to borrow $28.48 million from non-court trust funds.
