Florida Governor Rick Scott is preparing a trip to California in hopes of luring businesses from the Golden to the Sunshine State.

Ahead of his visit, Enterprise Florida is launching a radio ad criticizing California for raising the minimum wage.

The ad claims California’s wage hike will hurt people on a fixed income and cost the state 700,000 jobs. It’s set to run in the San Francisco and Los Angeles markets.
