Governor Scott heads West: not for good though, he's coming back

John Kennedy at the Post On Politics blog has this article titled, "Scott goes West — in search of jobs":
     Gov. Rick Scott heads this weekend to California on his latest business recruiting trip — with Enterprise Florida already trying to woo Golden State companies in advance with a radio ad touting this state’s low taxes.
     But a spokesman for Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, is shrugging off Scott’s air and land invasion.
     “As one of the 60 million tourists expected to visit California this year, we hope the governor’s stay is both enjoyable and educational,” said Evan Westrup, Brown’s press secretary.
If you've been reading up on Governor Scott's travels around the country encouraging businesses to relocate to Florida, he's been very successful. Given the drought conditions and terrible winters the last few years it's not a hard sell.

Do you remember this gem from Jennifer Sorentrue when the Ithaca, New York tourism page had this: That's it. We surrender. Winter, you win. Key West anyone?
