Rick Scott’s California Dreaming

April 26th, 2016 by Mike Vasilinda

Governor Rick Scott is off to California next week in search of jobs, ,and as Mike Vasilinda tells us, the Governor is already sparing with California’s Governor.

On Monday, Enterprise Florida released a radio ad titled Keep the sunshine, Lose the taxes. It’s running in Los Angeles and San Fransisco, and takes the Golden State to task for raising the minimum wage to 15 dollars.

“Seven Hundred thousand. that’s how many jobs  California jobs will be lost, thanks to the politicians raising the minimum wage” chimes a female voice in the ad.

Scott opposes a minimum wage hike in Florida.

“Why do oppose a hike in the minimum wage?”

“I want more people to get jobs. One of the things…there’s a study that says in California they’re going to raise the minimum wage, their gonna lose 700,000 jobs.”

California Governor Jerry Brown is basically saying bring it on…just much more nicely.

In a statement Browns Press Secretary points out that since Scott was last in California, “California has added twice as many jobs as Florida, while paying down debt.

The statement goes on to say the state has taken bold action action on issues Governor Scott continues to ignore, like climate change and poverty.

“Our labor force is growing faster than California, wage growth, job growth rate is after than California. What they are doing is hurting their economy. It hurts the people who need the jobs the most” says Scott.

Florida’s minimum wage is now 8.05 an hour. It’s ten bucks an hour in California. And Under the legislation approved in California, it will rise to 15 dollars over the next six and a half years.

Legislation to pay a 15 dollar minimum wage in Florida died without a hearing this spring.CALIFORNIA00000007
