Welcome to

Trailing by four points in the polls, Republican Candidate for Governor Rick Scott is taking his message on the road to rally his base. Scott was in the Panhandle today talking to Republican voters.

His first stop was in Panama City Beach where he and dozens of his supporters rallied at a Dunkin Donut shop. Scott bought a donut shop when he was just 21 years old and his business career skyrocketed from there. Scott admits that his plan to create 700-thousand jobs in seven years is a tall order but says with the right vision, it can be done.

“We don’t have an income tax. We are a right to work state. We’ve got beautiful beaches and beautiful weather. We have the expansion of the Panama Canal, the expansion of the economies in Central and South America so we should be number one,” said Scott.

Scott wants to eliminate the corporate income tax and lower property taxes by 19 percent. His Opponent Democrat Alex Sink calls his plan unrealistic and says it would lead to serve cuts in critical governmental services. Sink’s plan to create jobs focuses more on tax credits and incentive programs to business that create Florida jobs.
