Port jobs lost

It’s sad that Gov. Rick Scott has to use his bully pulpit to stifle economic activity from Cuba and Florida’s ports, which also translates into jobs being lost.

He’s always bragging about the need for jobs, jobs, jobs and improving the economy.

What happened? Will trade with China, another Communist country, be next on the chopping block?

I seriously doubt it, seeing as how there is no Chinese contingent living in Florida that he needs to suck up to.

Gary Hägermann,
