No, this is for non-governmental organizations who want to work in this area. The Government does have a duty to provide services for rape victims, like for all victims of crime, and the article makes clear that the State of Florida does so. What this is about, is about giving government support to non-government groups.

Apparently you are the one who can't read. And not really write either.
"We say 'here's the need, here's the need, here's the need,' and frankly, nobody's paying any attention," she told HuffPost. "We gave them information about the number of new survivors we have and we showed them that these rape crisis centers have waiting lists. Survivors are having to wait weeks, sometimes six weeks, in some programs three months to be seen. We included quotes from the programs about the waiting lists and what services they weren't able to offer because of a lack of money. There is clearly an unmet need."
As for the $6.5 million that Scott said the government provides for rape prevention and sexual assault services, a large percentage of that money is distributed to education programs, not actual crisis centers serving the victims.
"He's probably including rape prevention and education money," she said. "You think they would have asked us about that, and we could explain to them very clearly what money is available for our programs. It looks like $1.5 million is a lot of money to ask for, but frankly, when you spread it across 67 counties, it's not."
From a political standpoint, Scott's cuts to sexual violence funding could not have come at a worse time, as Republicans in Congress are taking heat for opposing the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. But Scott's spokesman said the governor's decision had nothing to do with the oft-cited GOP "war on women."

There is no information in this article other than typical Huff n Puff hit pieces.
What are the statistics of the centers and what was this additional money for???
Seems to me the Governor did his JOB.
They asked for $1.5 million ADDITIONAL taxpayer funds - but could not/would not tell him specifically what it was for.
That is his freaking job people!
Other Governors should only be this good. You ask for money - you should expect to be able to provide the specifics as to what it is for.
He did what he is elected to do - it is the rape centers that failed here.
