Gov. Rick Scott Statement on House Appropriations Committee Vote

If you are writing on the House Appropriations Committee’s job killing vote to pass HB 7005, please use the following statement from Governor Rick Scott:
“Today’s vote by politicians in the Florida House is a job killer. I know some politicians who have voted for this job killing bill say they don’t necessarily want to abolish these programs but instead want to advance a ‘conversation.’ This is completely hypocritical and the kind of games I came to Tallahassee to change. Perhaps if these politicians would listen to their constituents, instead of playing politics, they would understand how hurtful this legislation will be to Florida families.” – Governor Rick Scott
