“Well, look. We’re a tourism state. About a million jobs in our state are tied to tourism. We have four major hubs in our state. We’re clearly the gateway to Latin America. On Monday our Ft. Lauderdale airport and Orlando, almost 50% of their flights were delayed.

But, this will have a – we’re going to have a difficult time with this.
“I think it’s ridiculous that they can’t find other ways to cut, to do the right thing to make sure we keep growing jobs in our state. We’re below the national average on unemployment, and I want that to keep going down.
“Well, we’re in day four. People are starting to get frustrated with how long the delays are. My concern is they’ll decide not to — to book a flight to Florida. We have a million jobs in our state tied to tourism. We got a lot of business here too.“I just want to keep our economy going. Look, when I came into office I had to reduce the budget by $3.7 billion dollars in a $70 billion budget. We did it with common sense solutions. We didn’t take a meat cleaver to it. We didn’t do things that would adversely impact jobs. We did the right thing and that’s why our economy is booming again.”
“I didn’t do things that adversely impact jobs like this will in our state. This is ridiculous what they’re doing. They had other ways to cut this. I’m concerned about jobs in our state right when we have dramatically had a turn in our economy.”
“What I have been told is they had over $2 billion of other cuts they could have made that would not have impacted air controllers. This is only going back to 2010, the size of the FAA budget. This appears to be for some political move. I just think it’s ridiculous because it’s going to impact jobs. Our families want jobs.”
