Welcome to

Most everyone at the state capitol has an opinion about what the President should says in his State of Union Address tonight. Governor Rick Scott wants to hear more about the President’s plan to create jobs.

“I hope it will be about jobs and education for Florida Families. We made a lot of progress as you know the last few years. The unemployment rate has come down faster than any state but one. We are putting the money in education, but we need the federal government to focus the same way,” said Scott.

The President of Florida’s small business association wants to hear about regulations and if any will be lifted.

“Let’s get this second term off right. Let’s start some dialogue with the business community, particularly small business owners, so we can take a look at the impact some of these regulations have on small businesses on Main Street,” said NFIB President Bill Herrle.

Senate President Don Gaetz would like to hear the President reach across the isle and talk about Democrats and Republicans working together. But even if the president does Gaetz won’t be listening, at least not as it happens.

Gaetz: I’ll be with Speaker (Will) Weatherford at an Episcopal school tonight talking about education and choices. So I hope to hear Speaker Weatherford tonight.

Reporter: So you’re not going to listen to the State of the Union?

Gaetz: I’ll listen to a replay of it because I’m interested in what the president has to say.

At least one Floridian will hear the speech lived and in person. A 102 year old Miami resident, who reportedly waited three hours to vote in the November election, will be recognized for her determination.
