Rick Scott Begins to Release 2012 Agenda

On Tuesday, Gov. Rick Scott offered a sneak preview of his agenda for the 2012 legislative session. Scott promised to roll out his agenda starting on Wednesday.

In a Web video released by his team, Scott offered a review of his first year in office and said that the economy was starting to turn around.

Over the past year, Florida has made significant progress in getting our economy back on track, Scott said in the video. We balanced a budget without raising taxes. In fact, we gave businesses and families a tax cut. We began reviewing and eliminating hundreds of unnecessary rules and regulations that have hamstrung business owners in Florida. We scaled back the size of state government and created a business environment in Florida that has allowed us to create 87,200 private-sector jobs since January.
