Legalization of medical marijuana would boost our economy. Not only would we make money but we would save money that’s being spent on expensive pain medications.

I am agreeing with Art the food is the real deal. Excellent stuff and the out of state people need to experience some of our great food and hospitality.

Florida needs to stop depending on tourism and get some real permenant industry for its people.

And we dont need New Yorkers flooding the panhandle, south Florida is bad enough.

oh the food, the food here…wow! some of the best cooks on this planet hail from this area of the good ol’ usa! (if you don’ t believe me, ask their spouses)…that good comfort food, cajun, and the fresh fish, the local fresh produce is fantastic. (miss coopers). there is a richness and history to this part of the country that cant be beat …we have a lot to be thankful for and a lot to offer.

Bryan – sorry, friend – I’m a democrat
A few trips could add up but the advertising is the kicker, not the individual trips. But who knows in this technological age – if they have a good time it will be all over Facebook and Twitter. Photos of our beaches and bragging on southern hospitality (what remains of it)…. good stuff there, my friend

Im glad he is out there trying to sell our state that’s great, but i do not agree with him on some cuts he plans on making cocerning lawenforcement.He’s wanting county.state workers to pay into their own retirement,i idisagree becacuse when hired in this was not the agreement,there has been no rasies for local lawenforcement for 4 years,no not complaining and yes im glad i have a job.when going to work for the county this was a plus,but you took less pay.If lawenforcement was paid according to the private sector we could afford to pay for our own retirement.I am just saying i have heard some folks say well they should pay for their own retirement and again that would be true if we received private sector pay.It not right to compare the two when the pay is so far apart.just my thought

You can always count on the Republicans to put lipstick on a pig. A few free trips will not make one tiny bit of difference to what is facing our state. Scott is the wrong guy at the wrong time. HCA anyone? I bet they gave away free prizes too.

This governor is on the right track. He is desperately trying to make a difference. We the residents of this great state should get behind him on some of these ideas,instead of bitching and bellyaching about the cuts that he might make,and wondering if his decisions will impact our lives. Things will never be like they were before this recession and the sooner we realize this the better we will all be.

Great idea…. there is so much to offer that people miss because we aren’t a big city (and there’s another plus!!)
