NFIB: Rick Scott Good for Small Businesses in Florida

The Florida chapter of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) launched Small Business Days on Monday. The NFIBs program includes a reception at the governors mansion with Gov. Rick Scott.

Bill Herrle, the executive director of the Florida chapter of the NFIB, praised Scott on Monday, saying the governor was good for small businesses. Herrle also expressed support for Scotts call to cut business retail taxes by $100 million which is one of the governors chief goals for the current legislative session.

?"From cutting corporate income tax so four out of five businesses no longer pay it, to reducing annual business filing fees, to pushing for a decrease in the sales tax businesses pay on commercial leases, Gov. Scott has shown he is committed to doing everything he can to help businesses grow and succeed in Florida,? Herrle said. ?We are confident Florida's business-friendly climate will continue to strengthen throughout this year and look forward to seeing more businesses move their operations to the Sunshine State."
