TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – Florida’s top jobs recruiter is stepping down from his post after state legislators rejected calls for additional money. Gov. Rick Scott’s office announced Monday that Bill Johnson, the head of Enterprise Florida, is resigning. Scott’s office did not announce the exact date of Johnson’s departure. Johnson took over the post in 2015 at the start of Scott’s second term in office. But he wound up clashing several times with the Florida Legislature over the amount of money needed to lure new companies to the state. Scott wanted legislators this year to set aside $250 million for a new fund that would be used for business incentives. But legislators during budget negotiations rejected the entire request. During the middle of negotiations, Johnson contended that without the money, Florida could lose out on 50,000 jobs.
