January 31st, 2017 by Mike Vasilinda
Governor Rick Scott has proposed pay raises for Correctional officers and sworn police officers who work for the state. His budget released today also contains a one time bonus for state employees, who have not had a raise in about four years. the legislature has consistently said no to state workers. Scott says that needs to change.
“We have great state workers, and you really have thank people for what they do. People who work for state government are on a mission and they try to do their job really well, so I think we need to pay them well.”
Florida’s workforce is among the smallest and least paid per capita in the nation.
