TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Rick Scott, who was elected to office with the slogan “Let’s get to work,” proclaimed several times “It’s working” during his State of the State address Monday.

Scott touted Florida’s improved unemployment numbers and 200,000 non-government jobs that have been created since he took office in 2011 and urged lawmakers to continue to make the state more business-friendly by eliminating the sales tax on manufacturing equipment.
