Florida TaxWatch Looks at Rick Scott and Alex Sink on Education

Florida TaxWatch released a look at gubernatorial candidates Alex Sink, the Democratic nominee, and Republican Rick Scott on Tuesday, offering voters a side by side comparison of the two rivals on education in what is shaping to be one of the closest races in memory.

During these difficult fiscal times, Florida needs to place a concentrated focus on delivering world-class education to our children, said Dominic Calabro, who serves as president and CEO of the organization. There is nothing more important to economic recovery and the future of our state than an innovative and well-performing pre-K-20 education system. This election cycle is a pivotal time in Floridas history and the next governor of Florida will have a profound effect on education policy, funding, and reform -- which makes voter understanding of each major candidate's platform absolutely essential.
