Rick Scott Urges Kentucky Businesses to Move to Florida

Gov. Rick Scott continues to target businesses in other states -- all of which have Democrats as governors -- encouraging them to uproot and move to Florida. On Monday, Scott sent out a letter to businesses in Kentucky, letting them know that the Sunshine State is open for business.

Kentuckys formula of higher taxes and more spending is not working, Scott said. Florida has cut over 2,500 regulations, cut taxes 25 times and paid down state debt. As a result, over the past year Kentuckys unemployment rate remained relatively stagnant while Floridas has dropped 1.7 percent. Not only is Florida a great place for businesses, but its also a great place to get an education, and we will continue to work to bring more jobs and opportunities to Florida families.
