"Let's Get to Work" hauls in $250K

BY THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

With chunks of cash coming from the business community, Gov. Rick Scott's "Let's Get to Work" political committee raised at least $250,000 in March, according to information posted on its website. Candidates and political committees face an April 11 deadline for filing state campaign-finance reports showing activity through the end of March. The Let's Get to Work website lists contributions through March 25. The biggest contribution, $100,000, came from a PAC called "Floridians for a Stronger Democracy," which has ties to the business group Associated Industries of Florida and has received money from major corporations. As an example, Florida Power & Light funneled $600,000 to Floridians for a Stronger Democracy in January, according to the state Division of Elections website. Other large contributions to Let's Get to Work in March included $25,000 from "Florida Jobs PAC," which is affiliated with the Florida Chamber of Commerce, and $25,000 from the security company ADT, according to the Let's Get to Work website.
