Someone PLEASE tell me that the Romney campaign is going to be all over this.
Our company site manager, Brian, (equivalent to VP) is on a jobs board that Governor Rick Scott (Florida) set up. Brian said that the word from the other CEO’s and VP’s on the board is that if you can bring as few as 50 jobs to the state that Governor Scott will be on the phone to whomever he needs to call. Governor Scott, Brian says, will cut a deal right there on the phone.
I voted for Scott, but he wasn’t my choice in the primary. I have to admit, though, I’m impressed.
Oh, for all of you who are going to criticize Governor Scott for cutting “tax” deals, companies don’t pay taxes. The taxes are an expense and are added into costs that are passed on to customers in higher prices.
