If you were a resident of Fla. you would likely have a higher opinion of Jeb. He has done A LOT for our economy, all through the recession Fla. never suffered and even today has among the highest employment figures. As to Terry, that was what was perceived the people of THIS STATE wanted him to do. Fla is far more conservative then many of the Western States. If I were a resident of FLA, I would be very angry. He sent in state troopers to resist an order of the court. That's illegal and a governor should know better and respect the law. As for FLA's booming economy, you can thank the hurricanes last year and the largesse of the Feds. Jeb had little to do with it. Areas that go through natural disasters typically boom the next two years after the disaster. LA's 1994 earthquake was the catalyst that had it recover from the worst recession in its history. What Jeb is good at is smoke and mirrors. And I can guarantee you that's was not one of the factors in Time's decision.
