Miami, FL (AP) - Florida's governor spent the day at the Port of
Miami touting trade missions and other efforts to generate more
business and jobs in Florida.

Gov. Rick Scott checked heavy construction equipment Friday
morning waiting for loading by Seaboard Marine, an ocean
transportation company. Scott later greeted passengers boarding
Carnival Cruise Lines' Imagination. He even DJ-ed a little, donning
headphones for a quick lesson on the turntables.

Scott says a dredging project to allow newer, larger cargo ships
to enter the port will bring 30,000 permanent jobs to Miami.

The start of drilling for a $1 billion tunnel project at the
port was scheduled for Monday but has been temporarily delayed,
which Scott called "disappointing." The tunnel will connect the
port with Miami's expressways.

"The deal" here is that Bob Graham was a really good governor whereas Scott is a worthless scumbag.

Governor Graham and this goon are about as similar in behavior as they are in looks. How many days until we're treated to the glorious sound of his jet plane departing Tallahassee for good.
