Florida needs its plane back, governor
By Douglas C. Lyons
But, you made a campaign promise, and you kept it. Back in 2010, you said you'd mothball the state's aging fleet of planes and graciously use your own. The idea was to show Floridians that you were fiscally responsible in saving taxpayers' money.
So, you dumped our old eight-seat Cessna Citation Bravo jet and nine-seat King Air turboprop, and you graciously offered to replace them with your very own Raytheon Beechjet 400. You even pledged to pay the expenses of operating the plane out of your own pocket.

No doubt you put your jet to good use, even as you left an open-government controversy in your wake. You're don't make your travel plans public, and you won't disclose who travels with you. The press still grumbles about your plane and its shroud of secrecy.
Take that story the Tampa Bay Times did on you and that hush-hush trip to meet with Big Sugar lobbyists at the King Ranch in Texas. It's not like you told anyone you were going. The papers discovered the trip by examining Texas state hunting license records.
