get back to being the job creators they should be. the republican governor of florida, rick scott. great to have you here. and i ve got to start with pensacola, florida. you know, bp was that was a nightmare for the region even if oil didn t spill on to pensacola beaches, it scared people away for a while. a lot of friends of mine that had family businesses for years were ravaged in the middle of a recession. great news for the panhandle and for florida. absolutely. the highest bed tax ever in the history of the state. which means tourism. this summer it was hard to get a room. restaurants were packed. bp gave us $30 million to market the panhandle, we used it well. tourism has come back. this year, we ve had a good year. in the state, great tourism in the south. we ve generated 70,000 jobs this year second to governor perry s texas.
