Keeping his promise to reduce property taxes, Governor Rick Scott signed legislation that will save homeowners and businesses throughout Florida $210.5 million on property taxes due in 2012. This property tax cut allows families and businesses to use more of their hard-earned money in the way they see best, rather than having to send it to a government agency, Governor Scott said. When Governor Scott ran for office, he promised to balance the budget without raising taxes and he has kept that promise. Under the leadership of Governor Scott, the 2012-13 budget makes ends meet in spite of a budget gap in excess of $1 billion, on top of a $3.7-billion gap during the current budget year. Governor Scott vetoed $142.7 million from the budget, adding to Floridas reserves. Governor Scott said, Many decisions will not be politically popular in the short term and the voices of the special interests will be loud and persistent, but your elected officials should be absolutely committed to creating jobs, spending every tax dollar wisely, and getting Floridians back to work. - See more at: http://www.rickscottforflorida.com/stared-down-hugebudget-deficits-and-balanced-his-first-two-state-budgets-withoutraising-taxes/#sthash.AG3T7ScS.dpuf

More From Governor Scott:
Over the last year I have traveled the state to hear from Floridians what issues they care about most. Thats why this budget should be known as an education budget, Governor Scott said. The two issues that Floridians care most about are jobs and education, and the two go hand-in-hand since a good education is critical to getting a good job. The more than $1 billion allows for: A $405 million increase in per-student funding or roughly $150 per student. An extra $47 million for enhanced reading programs. $663 million to fill funding gaps due to the influx of 31,000 expected new students next year and lower property taxes. Funding that will enable districts to reward the best teachers.
Governor Scott signed legislation that increases funding to Florida schools by over $1 billion. This historic increase in funding will ensure that Floridas schools are in a position to educate our states future workforce. With this increased funding comes increased responsibility. It is important that we continue to hold Floridas schools to a high standard. The state must ensure that our educational system is held accountable to educate our children properly. Governor Scott is confident that continuing to invest in Floridas schools will prepare our state to be the best place to live, work and play for years to come.
Governor Scott also knows that with an increased investment in Floridas education system comes an increased responsibility. That is why Governor Scott set the bar high on Floridas learning standards to ensure our children receive the best possible education. - See more at: http://www.rickscottforflorida.com/despite-budget-shortfalls-providedan-additional-over-1-billion-in-funding-for-education/#sthash.ad2WvnsC.dpuf
