State of the State Preview

January 9th, 2012 by Mike Vasilinda

Governor Rick Scott will deliver his second State of the State speech at eleven a.m. Tuesday morning. The speech is a chance for the Governor to lay out his agenda to lawmakers. This morning, the Governor said his agenda was more scaled back than his first year.

I continue to want to make sure that my jobs agenda gets passed,” Scott said. “I want to make sure that we fix PIP insurance. But the biggest thing, as you know, is that even though we had a lot of success this last year on job creation and people moving into the state, we’ve got a lot of work to do.”

Scott says he will not seek major pension reform again this year, despite not getting everything he wanted. He will seek health insurance concessions from state employees but he may also offer bonuses to up to a third of the state workforce.
