Gov. Scott to Gov. Perry: I'm Coming For You

Florida Gov. Rick Scott's friendly rivalry with Texas Gov. Rick Perry took another turn Thursday, with Scott warning the leader of the Lone Star State that his state won't be the No. 1 place to do business for long.

Chief Executive Magazine's survey of CEOs recently named Texas as the best state in the union to do business. Florida was ranked third.

Scott has cited Perry's policies as his preferred model for sparking business development and job growth in Florida, but he sent a letter to his philosophic soulmate Thursday warning him that Florida has its eyes on the No. 1 spot.

"In our 21st century economy, business owners can do business anywhere. Every entrepreneur is searching for the best place to get the greatest return on their investment, the best work force, and the most convenient location. In addition, if possible, theyd like that place to also be a great place to live.

"Well, my friend, Florida is already the best place to live. In fact, millions of people from around the world visit Florida and dream of enjoying our great weather, beaches, fishing, and culture year-round. And with all we are doing to make Florida No. 1 in job creation, I am certain Texas days at the top are numbered," the letter reads in part.
