Charlie Crist Unveils Plan for Middle-Class Jobs

Charlie Crist unveiled a new policy plan to promote middle-class jobs and opportunity on Tuesday.

Crist's "Fair Shot Plan" outlines several policies he promises to enact if elected governor: restoring public school funding, raising the minimum wage, creating a student loan forgiveness program and extending health care coverage across the state.

The plan also criticizes Gov. Rick Scott for cutting education funds and refusing to develop a high-speed rail system from Tampa to Orlando.

The plan reads:

"The Crist vision is different. Charlie believes Floridas economy works best when we build it fromthe middle-class out, not the top down. He understands that 99 percent of businesses are smallbusinesses homegrown businesses right here in our state, creating jobs right here in our communities. He knows that the road to long-term growth isnt paved with massive tax giveawaysto lure a handful of jobs here, but rather by creating a pipeline of opportunity for our residents andsmall businesses.
