Florida’s governor says there are “a lot of business people upset” in Connecticut and he’s hoping to persuade them to move to the Sunshine State.
Republican Gov. Rick Scott met Monday with community and business leaders in Norwalk. He made a similar trip in 2015 to lure Connecticut business to Florida as part of an “economic development mission.”
Scott’s visit comes as health insurer Aetna Inc. considers relocating its long-time headquarters from Hartford.
Scott says he would “love every company in Connecticut” to think about moving to Florida, where he says taxes and regulations have been cut since he first took office.
Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy‘s spokeswoman says “it’s no wonder” Scott would look to Connecticut and be “envious” of its’ high quality of life, good schools and skilled workforce.

Good for Governor Scott there is no rational basis for any company to be in the high tax Democrat run states like Connecticut. They are more concerned with harboring illegal aliens and providing welfare programs–sooner or later they “run out of other peoples money”. Infrastructure is collapsing the roads and weather are horrible and it gets worse every day. the only reason NY,CA have not collapsed like Puerto Rico is because they still have plenty of people left to tax.
