Well, what a surprise! The man who promised to make Florida a mecca for business couldn't deliver results. In just one year, Florida plummeted from an overall rank of 18 to29 in CNBC's 2012 ranking of America's Top States for Business. Worse than that, it ranked 39th for cost of business, 30th for quality of life, and 47th for economy. Ham on Wry finds this information disturbing, in light of the monetary incentives Scott approved to attract new business to the state. In this time of economic uncertainty. Florida has flagged under his leadership and wasted taxpayer money.
How ironic that the photo in the post came from thinkprogress.org! Florida has shown no progress with Scott as governor. Instead, it has regressed. Earlier Ham on Wry posts discussed polls that identified St. Petersburg, Florida as America's saddest city and Tampa Bay as America's most stressful metropolitan area. Governor Scott has presided over many cuts to programs and services that benefit the citizens of Florida, but has yet to show innovation in handling the complexities of state government.
Take heart, Floridians! In a little over two years, we can vote him out of office. Why not act sooner? Voters have no means of ousting him because no recall provision exists in the Florida constitution. Patience, readers. If we can endure hurricanes and sink holes, we must tough it out until the next election.
