Welcome to

Democrats with signs protesting yesterdays signing of the state budget at the Villages were moved from the area, but today, Governor Rick Scott avoided answering a question about why they removed and offered reporters only a vague answer as to why he chose the Villages in the first place.

“I’ve spent a lot of time traveling around the state. I announced my budget in Central Florida and decided to go back to Central Florida,” Scott said. “One thing I’m trying to do is make sure I get around and talk to people all around the state.”

Scott announced his budget earlier this year at a Tea Party event in Eustis, not far from the Villages.
