Rick Scott Targets Missouri Businesses to Move to Florida

Gov. Rick Scott is urging businesses based in Missouri to head to Florida. With Gov. Jay Nixon vetoing $700 million in tax cuts, Scott is calling for businesses to move from the Show Me State to the Sunshine State.

According to a ranking of business-friendly climate by the Tax Foundation, Missouri ranks 16th in the country while Florida is one of the top five performing states, Scott said on Wednesday. And its unlikely to get better for Missouri, as we just saw Governor Nixon veto a $700 million tax cut for individuals and businesses.

Scotts office sent a letter to Missouri businesses earlier in the week, highlighting Floridas business climate.
