"Florida legislators should be on watch - Americans for Prosperity will not let them off easy for their corporate welfare habit," said AFP Florida director, Chris Hudson, in an emailed statement. "The evidence is in: the only winners in the sports incentive game are the recipients. Taxpayers lose their money and no significant jobs or tourism is generated. Our lawmakers should be embarrassed for getting caught while stealing bases. Instead, some want to double down and spend even more. AFP will inform Floridians and help them hold their legislators accountable."
