I'm not trying to defend Rick Scott here, but they are quoting an Aide. They may as well quote Grandma too.
And Dania Beach probably the most insignificant town in Florida, an Antique shopping district nestled between Hollywood's ghetto and Port Everglades.
But that's how these things get's past the majority of the Voting public, the Liberals have the shitty GOP's back, by running distractions, by quoting non principal players, and misplacing blame. To the betterment of both the GOP and the Democrats masters.
Oh, and also by quoting facts and research that's been assembled over decades... Nice to see the GOP finally catching on and admitting the reality, even if it starts in a small way like this.

GOP believes in ONLY CARROT for corporations. If you give them treats all the time, they will of course rain love down on you. Just like my 3-year old will turn into a benevolent CEO someday if I spoil him rotten.
Citizens get ONLY THE STICK under GOP. You need help, here run this gauntlet first, prove you are not a drug user do this do that because we ASSUME YOU ARE A CRIMINAL until you prove otherwise.

The only way for a woman to get an abortion in Republicantopia is to incorporate her uterus. Republicans have no problem telling women what they can't do with their body. But they would never tell a corporation what they cannot do.
Oh, and if you just got the sudden urge to buy the domain name incorporatemyuterus.com, sorry, but the ACLU beat you to it.

"The point is that Republicans are always talking about deregulation and big government. But I say their philosophy is small government for the big guy and big government for the little guy. And so, if my wife's uterus was incorporated or my friend's bedroom was incorporated, maybe the Republicans would be talking about deregulating."
uh-oh, we need some damage control, and QUICK!
Gov. Rick Scott Aide Admits That Scott's Corporate Tax Cut Won't Create Jobs
Rep. Evan Jenne, D-Dania Beach, asked Costello of the governor's plan would require that companies create jobs in exchange for the new tax breaks.
“The last thing we would want to do is just have a CEO pocket the money and just say ‘Thanks for the cash,'” Jenne said during a meeting of the House Economic Affairs Committee .
“Quite frankly, depending on the size and scope of the company, their savings and tax breaks might not be enough to bring a new person on,” Costello answered. “But it might be enough to buy a new piece of equipment or do something that injects money back into the economy.”
