Scott touts 500 new jobs — with Time Warner moving HR to Tampa
by John Kennedy | September 20th, 2011

Time Warner, Inc., joined Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Tuesday to announce that the media giant was moving its corporate human resources operations to the Tampa area, bringing with it at least 500 jobs over the next five years.

State officials and Hillsborough County officials steered $3 million in incentives to the broadcast and publishing company. Scott said the investment will pay off for the state, with Time Warner’s operation yielding a boost in sales, property and other taxes in coming years.

The announcement nudges the first-year governor closer toward his campaign promise of adding 700,000 jobs to Florida over the next seven years. Scott said Florida has added more than 87,000 jobs this year — even as the state’s 10.7 percent unemployment rate continues to outstrip the national level.

“We’ll get a great return on the dollars that we’re putting up,” Scott said.

1. I'll believe it when I see it. Look at the corporate tax give-away for

500 employee promised perk. It never materializes ever. And usually, a branch opens up overseas and the 200 employees they actually did hire will be pink slipped.. In the mean time.. my taxes increase to foot the extra traffic needs for the operations. Disgusting how they do business down here. Just another freebie to the rich bastards.

2. 500 jobs in five years is pie in the sky.

I'll believe how many permanent positions they have when they open the doors and perhaps six months later.

Any other figures are just plain bullshit. If Rick Scott's lips are moving you can be sure he's lying.
