Carlos Lopez-Cantera Goes After Charlie Crist's Economic Record

With former Gov. Charlie Crist, the favorite for the Democratic nomination to challenge Gov. Rick Scott in November, calling for raising the minimum wage, Republicans pushed back against him on Tuesday.

Earlier this week, Crists campaign launched a television ad in which the former governor says he would raise the state's minimum wage if elected.

Scotts team sent out Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera on Tuesday to hit Crist not only on the minimum wage, but the economy as well.

Charlie Crist must have a bad case of amnesia, Lopez-Cantera said. While he claims to be a champion of raising the minimum wage today, it was Crist who voted against it before he became governor. Whats worse was Crists neglect of our economy that led to 832,000 Floridians seeing their wage drop to $0.00."
