TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Gov. Rick Scott again revised his stance Friday on the jobs promise he made during last year’s campaign in a written statement titled in part, “Setting the Record Straight.”

The Republican governor recently has been insisting he never said during the campaign that the 700,000 new jobs he promised over seven years would be on top of whatever increase in jobs was afforded by “normal growth.”

In the new statement, though, he acknowledged his intent was to create that many jobs “no matter what the economy might otherwise gain or lose.”
