Welcome to

Governor Rick Scott is asking us to use a new picture of him in our stories. Here it is.

It shows Scott squinting and smiling, wearing an oxford shirt, no suit no tie. Here is the old picture. Today we asked Scott why the switch.

“My hair was too long in the other one,” Scott joked.

The new photo may be part of the governor’s attempt to rework his image. During the past month Scott has hired new staff, been more available to reporters and launched a program that allows him to work along side Floridians in different jobs once a month.
