St Pete Times: Governor Scott's Florida Jobs Tour |
The
Republican Party of Florida sent out an email yesterday, pointing reader attention to an article from the
Orlando Sentinel on the best states to do business. Florida ranked third, behind Texas and North Carolina. Of course, RPOF didn't fail to put a little partisan spin on the survey results - and rightly so. Since the 1994 Republican wave, Republicans have had an increasing level of control over state policy both in the Governor's Mansion and in the legislature. Republicans have consistently enacted pro-growth, pro-jobs, pro-business policy which has contributed to Florida's explosive population boom in the past two decades. According to the
RPOF, "In its annual survey, Chief Executive magazine cited the state’s low taxes, business-friendly regulations and quality of life."
Governor Rick Scott has already made clear his determination to put Florida at the top of the list.

Don't kid yourself. This is right-wing propaganda. Gov. Scott is the most unpopular governor in the United States. He's taken this state back 50 years....education, health care, transportation (lack of it). Everybody's regretting voting him in. I'm moving my family out as soon as possible.
