Adrian Wyllie Jabs Rick Scott for Vetoing Raising the Speed Limit
Submitted by Kevin Derby on May 19, 2014 - 9:13am
Libertarian gubernatorial nomineeAdrian Wyllie took aim at Gov. Rick Scott for vetoing a bill which would raise the speed limit to 75 miles per hour on interstates in Florida.

SB 392 is one of only a few bills out of the 2014 state legislative session that I would sign into law.
