Welcome to

Governor Rick Scott is meeting with military leaders in DC today. This comes amid a growing concern that some Florida bases could be shut down due to federal budget cuts. We caught up with Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll at the Florida Defense Task Force today. She says she and Scott are working an aggressive plan to make sure bases in Florida remain open.

�This is his first time meeting with the services and making sure they see who the governor of the state of Florida is. It�s an introductory thing, and it�s building that relationship we will need if we end up going down the road for another BRAC,� said Carroll.

BRAC is an acronym often used by the military which means Base Realignment and Closure. The military is considering closing some bases when the new federal budget year begins October 1st. Carroll doesn�t expect any Florida bases to be shut down.
