State Line Signs
May 17th, 2011 by Mike VasilindaThe state Department of Transportation is spending 88 hundred dollars to put Governor Rick scott’s name below the welcome to Florida signs on 35 roadways coming into Florida. Scott appeared uncomfortable when asked if the signs were a good use of taxpayer money. “I saw a picture on the front page of the paper today…I hadn’t seen what they look like. I think they look nice. But um, my job is to promote the state. that’s what I’m doing every day. I’m traveling the country promoting the state. It’s part of promoting the state,” says Scott.
Few Florida Governors have exercised the option to have their name on the signs. Scott’s office says the signs will help in the states economic development efforts.
