Governor Rick Scott of Florida is hard at work, improving the economy of the state of, you guessed it, North Carolina.
Oh wait, that wasn't your guess?
While Florida's economic mantra continues to be jobs, jobs, jobs, an Orlando company announced it was adding 1,200 jobs — in North Carolina.
Orlando-based Connextions Inc., which provides call center employment to large health care insurance companies, said it was opening a new call center in Charlotte, N.C., with 800 new jobs and adding 400 additional jobs to an existing call center in Concord, N.C.
The Charlotte Observer newspaper called the news "the region's largest employment announcement in recent memory." The Charlotte region's jobless rate was 10.7 percent in February.
Meanwhile, Rick Scott wants to cut Florida's already low corporate tax rate from 5% to 3%.
It's all part of the plan to create jobs... in other states.
Fooled you with that headline didn't I?
