The state Department of Transportation is spending 88 hundred dollars to put Governor Rick scott�s name below the welcome to Florida signs on 35 roadways coming into Florida. Scott appeared uncomfortable when asked if the signs were a good use of taxpayer money. �I saw a picture on the front page of the paper today…I hadn�t seen what they look like. I think they look nice. But um, my job is to promote the state. that�s what I�m doing every day. I�m traveling the country promoting the state. It�s part of promoting the state,” says Scott.

Few Florida Governors have exercised the option to have their name on the signs. Scott�s office says the signs will help in the states economic development efforts.
