“Governor Rick Scott’s first year in office was certainly a successful one.
Under the Governor’s leadership the state budget was balanced, property taxes
were reduced by $210 million, Floridians started getting back to work and
commitments to education were maintained. Through these accomplishments,
Governor Scott has made clear that he will uphold his promise to make Florida
the best state not only to move, grow or start a business, but also to live,
work and visit.
“Today the Governor laid out his vision for the 2012 Legislative Session and
the year ahead. Governor Scott remains committed to balancing the state budget
without raising taxes or fees and creating a business friendly environment that
will bring jobs to the state. This year, with the recommendation to increase
education spending by $1 billion, Governor Scott has reaffirmed his commitment
to our children by ensuring that they receive a quality education. He has also
made it a priority to keep the cost of living low for all Floridians by
reforming the auto insurance system to reduce fraud and abuse.
“I commend Governor Scott on a successful start to turning Florida’s economy
around and getting Floridians back to work. I trust that if we follow the
direction of Governor Scott, Florida will continue to recover in the years
ahead.”
