Crist Inherited One Of The Strongest Economies In The Country. Today, Florida’s Economy Is One Of The Weakest – 49th – Almost Dead Last. Only Nevada, California And Washington, D.C. Are Worse. (G. Scott Thomas, “Survey: Florida Among Weakest U.S. Economy,” South Florida Business Journal, 7/27/10)

In March 2010, Florida’s Unemployment Rate Reached 12.3%, The Highest In The State’s History. (Bureau Of Labor Statistics, www.data.bls.gov, Accessed 8/25/10)
CATO Institute: Crist Earns A “D” On Fiscal Responsibility For Supporting Large Tax Increases On Floridians. “In the 2008 Cato report card, Governor Crist received an ‘A’ based on his support of property tax cuts and spending restraint. But since then, the governor has switched fiscal gears and supported large tax increases on Floridians. Crist signed into law a $2.2 billion increase in 2009, which included a $1 per pack increase on cigarette consumers and more than $1 billion in new ‘fees’ for vehicle licenses, fishing licenses, and other items. Then, exhibiting amnesia, Crist declared in his 2010 State of the State address: ‘My core principle is to not raise taxes.’” (Chris Edwards, “Fiscal Policy Report Card On America’s Governors: 2010,” CATO Institute, 9/30/10)
