Welcome to

Governor Rick Scott isn’t shying away from his plans to gut the Department of Community Affairs. Today Scott toured the department that oversees development in Florida. Scott’s budget calls a 600 million dollar cut to DCA’s nearly 750 million dollar budget. It also calls for layoffs. Scott answered question from state workers about his plan to eliminate 86-hundred positions statewide. Afterward he told reporters why changes were needed to the department that regulates growth. Scott says revamping the Department will attract more business to the state.
