Governor Rick Scott is known as being 'the jobs' governor and he's making his way around the state as part of his 'Let's Get to Work campaign'. Saturday, he made a stop in Panama City Beach.
Governor Scott spent the day working as an employee at Captain Anderson's restaurant. He started out in the kitchen, filleting fish before heading into the bakery to put the final touches on some key lime pies. After that, he was out in the dining room waiting tables.
It's all part of Governor Scott's "work day" campaign to bring more jobs to Florida and to personalize the issue of unemployment.
"Everybody would like to have a job. Everybody would like to build their families. And you can't do it without jobs. I think part of it is meeting people, highlighting the importance of all these jobs, it's all of these things," said Governor Scott.
Governor Scott's first day of work at an everyday job was serving customers at a Tampa donut shop. He says one of his main priorities is to create policies that make Florida one of the best places to do business.

Where are the private sector jobs he promised? All I've seen is the governor cut funding, cut services, and lay off thousands of state workers. Hasn't helped our unemployed, has it? BTW Duane: Paying 3% of the pitiful salary I have doesn't bother me or very many other state employees...most of us all have private retirement accounts anyway because very few would be able to survive on state retirement alone. Get a clue, dude.
Yeah it's tough for State workers to have to contribute to retirement like everyone else......And if you work for DOC, there is always the option of STEALING IT!!!! Like happened at Calhoun corrections yesterday when one of our proud DOC officers didn't like the idea so she stole (and was arrested) $26,000 from the canteen fund. I guess she was trying to get her pension funds back!!!!!!! Keep up the Good work Gov. Scott!!!!!
WHAT A JOKE. WHY DON'T YOU COME WORK A DAY AT ONE OF YOUR STATE PRISONS GOVERNOR SCOTT? PLEASE COME SEE WHAT WE DEAL WITH EVERY DAY WHILE YOU TAKE OUR BENEFITS AWAY. OR MAYBE RIDE WITH A CITY WORKER, A POLICE OFFICER, OR SIT IN CLASS ALL DAY WITH AN UNDERPAID TEACHER. BUT MAYBE MAKING PIE AND DONUTS IS MORE IMPORTANT. IT'S SAFER FOR SURE.
