Crowley Political Report

Rick Scott is rich. And he has in recent years been a successful businessman and investor. Now, he wants to run government as business.

The GOP candidate for governor is traveling the state aboard his campaign motorhome touting his 7-Step economic plan. He is promising 700,000 jobs within 7 years.

All those in favor of waiting seven years for a job raise your hand. Six? Five? Three? One?

Scott outlines his plan in great detail on his website but you can get an abridged view on his website here.

Unfortunately there's not much new in his plan. Scott wants more accountable state budgeting, less state spending, regulatory reform, stronger focus on job creation, world-class universities, lower property taxes, and elimination of the state's business income tax.

Or put another way "less governement, less taxes, more freedom."  Now where have we heard that before?
