Welcome to

Florida’s Governor is hunting again for more jobs. Matt Galka tells us about the next state he’s looking to poach from.

Kentucky, you’re on Governor Rick Scott’s list. He’s traveling to the Blue Grass state to try and lure businesses to Florida. A new ad from Enterprise Florida is already replacing My Old Kentucky Home on radios across the state.

“Are Frankfurt’s pro-union and big government policies hurting your business? Good news is on the way. Florida Governor Rick Scott is coming to Kentucky to share Florida’s success story,” a voice says during part of the ad.

Scott has already been on poaching missions to Democrat led states like Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and California this year.

“Kentucky’s a good opportunity for us, it’s a state where you don’t have a choice on whether you belong to a union or not. Income tax is way higher, personal income tax is higher. It’s just not a good place to do business so I think there’s a lot of opportunity there,” he said.

Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear disagrees.  In a statement, he said Scott’s trip would be unsuccessful and a waste of time.

Florida’s Rick Scott already has ties to the bluegrass state. He moved his hospital chain away from there 20 years ago.

The Governor will head to Louisville in two weeks. He says Florida’s job growth is proof that the business trips work.
