Here is a thought! We want to save money here in Florida STOP adding crap on to the Welcome To Florida signs. (Ex…. La Florida or Open For Business). What a waste of mone! Just think those stupid saying were put on every Welcome sign in Florida. What does that crap even mean? Waste, WAste, WASte,WASTe and more WASTE!

People you can quit wishing and hoping for heavy manufacturing and production jobs, those sunny days we enjoyed as kids as our parents were able to provide for us well, owing to their excellent wages. Those jobs are now giving families in other parts of this world their sunny day. The gap between the haves and have nots is rapidly widening, so which ever side of the bank your standing on, wave goodbye to the folks on the other side as the gap is growing and here to stay.

I would suggest studying and striving for an advanced degree with a practical application that has demand. Drone maintenance is a vocation that is hot.

All this talk of tourist and marijuana makes my mind think of the prohibition era of alcohol back in the 20th century, the underground clubs were refered to as speakeasies. I guess that in the future when people refer to our second era of prohibition on pot, they will speak of our underground clubs as toke-easies.

Toke easy or the law will hear you cough.

More than likely he want to invest that money in order to get political donations.

Btw, there are 310,000,000 million people in the US. So Scott is expecting close to 1/3 of Americans to come visit Florida?
This is like throwing money into the wind to see where it will land.

Nobody wants children to get high if they did they would just go to there local drug dealer and buy pot. No people want it for medicine to stop the seizure big huge diffrence. Since people do not believe in this maybe just think what would you do to save yourself from brain damage that can’t be changed. People who have never had this great pleasure of being scared that there child might not wake up. Will not understand but I can tell you it’s not much different from caring for someone who has had a stroke and will soon if not later start to have seizures and well I think most know the rest.

100,000,000. tourist.

You could probably turn good coin just recycling the waste they would generate.

Why argue over the marijuana…, and just take the touristas on down the trail.

Scott has got to go. He does not support medical marajuana for children I understand it is a little hard to understand but so is watching children in the USA suffer when another option is here. Please no words can describe the horror these people go through so much brain damage is done why not help these children. Does this governor understand the side effects prescription meds do to these children. Nothing child friendly here in florida.

CW .. this is exactly what is needed, good solid corporations that have a market for people who can begin work and plan to retire from the same organization. We have too many temporary jobs and low wage jobs.

There is a lot of talent in our area for highly skilled jobs.

Rick Scott, where are the 700,000 jobs you promised?

Seriously?

What a “conservative”. What a fine upstanding man (invoked 5th Amendment 75 times during his company’s Medicare Fraud case). What a humanitarian. His response when told small children suffering debilitating seizures could be helped or cured by a non-intoxicating variety of medicinal marijuana?

“When asked about allowing parents of children who have seizures to have access to a special strain of medical marijuana, Gov. Rick Scott shut the door.

‘I oppose illegal drug abuse,’ he told the Tampa Bay Times on Wednesday.’I've watched what it does to families. I think the attorney general has done the right thing with the advice she gave the Supreme Court. Have a great day!’

Give Skeletor his walking papers in November.

Legalize Marijuana if you want tourism, it costs nothing to do it and Colorado made 5 million dollars in 5 days
