On the second to last day of his "Let's get to work" jobs tour, Gov.-elect Rick Scott spoke with tourism employees and business leaders aboard the Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas cruise ship.
As part of his tour Scott says he's looking to expand state programs that are producing a good return on investment, and chopping ones that don't. That stern evaluation is part of his strategy to keep his campaign promises of phasing out the business tax and cutting property taxes by 19 percent. Both of those measures are expected to have a major impact on the state's already strained budget.
Besides cutting the waste, Scott says he's also going to look at the regulations, taxes and fees that are unnecessary and prevent businesses from flourishing.
