Welcome to

There were tough questions today for Governor Rick Scott as he faced people with jobs he’d like to eliminate. Governor Rick Scott toured the Department of Business and Professional Regulation in Tallahassee. Scott has called for the elimination of some of the branches within the department. Employees of those branches asked the Governor why. They also asked Scott why he wants to tool with the state pension plan.

“The question if anybody didn’t hear it in the back–the question is, is it unfair to state employees any of my proposals with regard to changes in health insurance with a pension plan. Here’s what I think about it, step one, everybody here wants a plan that they can rely on, right? Right now your plan is underfunded, whether anybody wants to acknowledge it or not. Pension plans all across this country including Florida are underfunded,” said Scott.

Scott’s not shying away from the people whose jobs he’s recommended eliminating. His tour of state agencies and departments continues.
