Welcome to

Governor Rick Scott is catching heat from his opponents for standing behind jobs they say he didn’t create. Scott is promising to create 700-thousand jobs in seven years. Yesterday, while on a trade mission in Canada, Scott announced a Canadian company was moving a hundred jobs to Florida.

“I am pleased to announce today that Garda is moving its US headquarters to Boca Raton Florida,” said Scott.

But opponents, including the Florida Democrats, claim those jobs were coming before Scott was elected. A spokesman for Scott told a Florida newspaper every job added since he took office, and there are 50-thousand of them, counts toward Scott’s total, even though Scott had promised his job creation count would be on top of the million jobs economists say will be added naturally as the economy improves.
