TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida Gov. Rick Scott is heading into his second term by promising to keep working on the same agenda that drove his first four years in office.
Scott is to take his oath Tuesday at a ceremony on the steps of the old Capitol.
In an interview with The Associated Press, he says it will continue to work on improving the state's economy, bolstering Florida's schools and holding the line on college tuition increases.
Scott won re-election by 64,000 votes after an expensive and negative campaign against Republican-turned-Democrat Charlie Crist.
The success of Scott's second term will depend on the GOP-controlled Florida Legislature. Senate President Andy Gardiner predicts Scott won't be a lame duck and will continue to have clout with legislators.
