Scott to Veto Higher Speed Limit

On the heels of a state Trooper being killed on Interstate 75, Governor Rick Scott said today he will veto legislation that would allow some interstate speed limits to increase to 75 miles per hour. Scott made the announcement when asked by a reporter. Scott is usually very coy about future vetos, and in this case, he has yet to even receive the bill from lawmakers. Scott says he was influenced by law enforcement. “I’ve heard from sheriffs around the state and other law enforcement asking me to veto the bill. I’m gonna stand with law enforcement and I want everybody to stay safe. I don’t want anybody to be injured so I’m going to veto that bill” said Scott.

AAA Motor Clubs has also been calling on Scott to veto higher speeds.
