The war between House Speaker Richard Corcoran and Governor Rick Scott over corporate tax breaks appears to be claiming another casualty.
Enterprise Florida CEO Chris Hart says he’s stepping down from the embattled agency a day before lawmakers gavel in the 2017 session.
Corcoran is vowing to terminate the agency he says dispenses corporate welfare. Scott wants 85 million dollars in incentives for Enterprise Florida and he’s calling Corcoran a career politician.
According to News Service of Florida, Hart is citing a difference of opinion with Scott over the future of the agency.
The head of Visit Florida, the state’s tourism marketing arm, was forced to step down after Corcoran blasted a secret contract with the rapper, Pit Bull.
