Continuing to run television ads to boost his priorities, Gov. Rick Scott's "Let's Get to Work" political committee raised more than $579,000 in January while spending nearly $1.37 million, according to a newly filed finance report. The committee, which has played a key political role for Scott, collected $579,600 during the month and had about $737,000 remaining on hand as of Jan. 31. It spent $1,366,169, with much of the money going to advertising. The committee received large contributions from some organizations and businesses. For example, it received $100,000 from a Florida Chamber of Commerce PAC; $62,500 from Florida East Coast Railway; $50,000 from the health insurer Florida Blue; and $50,000 from a Florida Insurance Council PAC, according to the filing.
