TALLAHASSEE – The state is adding more jobs each month and wages are ticking upward, but Florida's main economic development agency – while touting its successes – is in turmoil and undergoing a massive reorganization.

It's driven mainly by a philosophical dispute between Gov. Rick Scott and a cadre of his fellow Republicans in charge of the Legislature, led by Rep. Richard Corcoran of Land O'Lakes, who is slated to become House Speaker after the elections.

"Florida has to compete with 49 other states and global markets across the world for jobs, and I will fight to make sure we have every available tool to remain competitive," Scott stated during Enterprise Florida's board meeting on Thursday.

You already are bringing jobs in you bald headed douche. Hedge funds from NY and CT are moving down there because of how bad the taxes are in their former states. This whole thing wreaks to me of crony capitalism.

Taxpayers and small businesses should not be forced to subsidies corporations
