@Bob, you are spewing Democratic talking points. Come on man learn to think for yourself!! How does taxing the rich into poverty bring the ones in poverty into prosperity?
How many poor people do you know that create jobs? I respect public sector jobs but you must realize this: You create nothing. You only consume on the backs of tax payers.

Explain the last time a public sector job created a profit? The economy stinks. It is everyone’s burden to share in the pain.

I think the guy is doing a terrific job to bring the state from the pits to a balanced budget. A feat former governors have failed to do. You may complain but he is doing what we elected him to do and he is doing it well. No more free rides in the state of Florida is the message he is trying to deliver.

There’s not a hole lot more that can be cut from the budget except from now to 2014 when I hope he’s not relected is to outsource everything he can do. Thats the pink slip Rick way with his crony republican buddies.
Hell have our state so messed up most retires will move out of state. I don’t trust and did not vote for this guy.

It would be a great if us county workers were able to get our 3% back. For allot of us that’s the reason we took our county jobs was because of the retirement and what few benefits we have left.

I think it is too early to predict anything. I think the analysts haven’t figured in the lawsuit that the State employees have before the FL Supreme Court about the 3% deductions for retirement. That will cost the State a lot of money if they lose. That goes before them this month.

Isn’t that awesome. When you take benefits away from the disabled and stick autistic and other disabled children in adult nursing homes, it saves money. Who cares if it destroys the quality of life in Florida in what is best for those children and their families?

Let’s just give the rich folks another property tax cut and while we are at it, let’s go ahead and legalize euthanasia so we can save even more money by getting rid of nursing homes all together. God Bless America.

…i dont think it was the governor that did this…it has been the upturn in the economy having greater effect of the tourism returning to our state…the jobs number he has promised has not materialized…nor for the jobs for non-tourism industries…but a lot of the government services are now in the hands of the private sector…

i guess that we should thank our governor scott, in part, for his fiscal responsibility this past year…i think that hes doing a good job.
