Gov. Scott Touts College, Agritourism Legislation

Florida Governor's Office

Florida Governor Rick Scott held ceremonial signings Monday for two pieces of legislation. 

The governor kicked off the day at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton to sign a college affordability bill.  The measure doesn’t actually cut student fees, but it places hurdles in the way of raising tuition and directs the Board of Governors to develop annual strategies for reducing costs. 

Next Scott headed to Lakeland to promote an agritourism bill.  The new law seeks to promote the industry by pre-empting any local ordinances regulating agricultural tourism.

While he worked on his degree Nick moved from intern, to part-timer, to full-time reporter. Before moving to Tallahassee, Nick lived in and around the San Francisco Bay Area for 15 years. He listens to far too many podcasts and is a die-hard 49ers football fan. When Nick’s not at work he likes to cook, play music and read.
