TALLAHASSE, Fla. (WTXL) - Governor Rick Scott is headed to the wild west for a three day crusade for jobs.

Rick Scott left today for California where he's set to meet with thirteen companies throughout Los Angeles, San Jose and San Francisco. This is his latest visit by the Republican governor to state's run by Democrats.

Ahead of his trip, Florida's Economic Agency paid for radio ads criticizing Californians decision to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Democrats say it's an inappropriate use of taxpayer money. Scott is expected back in the sunshine state by midweek.
