Florida 2.0

Florida is soon to be the 3rd largest state in the Union, yet despite it’s size has underperformed in nearly every measurable category of economic importance. Satisfied with our own Chamber of Commerce press clippings we have coasted on fumes, allowing our beaches, sunshine and reliance on Disney to replace a focused and sustained effort to build a global economic dynamo.

The recession has created an opportunity for government to get a handle on it’s own malfeasance. Gone are the days of budget surpluses which mask ineptitude. Today’s government must be limited, smart, customer oriented and dedicated to partnering with NGOs to meet the demands of our growing state.

The state has unlimited growth potential as it sheds it’s reliance on sprawl development and strip malls for medical and high tech manufacturing, connected by modern modes of transportation that eschews ideology for interconnectivity. Low taxes, limited regulations that seamlessly transcend local and state government and the absolute best schools in the nation will provide the foundation for Florida’s emergence as a powerful job creator. Abundant & affordable energy and transportation networks second to none will power our growth.

Florida has unlimited potential - “let’s get to work” to make it a reality.
