AFP Opposes Rick Scott's Call for More Funds for Enterprise Florida

Americans for Prosperity’s (AFP) Florida chapter came out against Gov. Rick Scott’s proposal to increase funds and reform Enterprise Florida. 

“Gov. Scott should not be asking for $250 million for additional incentive money for Enterprise Florida’s corporate welfare, or any other gross examples of crony capitalism,” said Chris Hudson, AFP’s director in Florida. “The governor very passionately stated last year during the 2015 legislative session that taxpayers can spend their money better than government can, and we agree!”

“Gov. Scott should be focused on giving that money back to Florida families or using these dollars for essential services,” Hudson added. “Along with the over $700 million in proposed tax cuts, Floridians could see close to $1 billion in relief. That would be money well spent.”
