California legislators push to exempt film tax credit program from corporate tax cap
Sen.Rick Scott criticizes the U.S.Senate's declining productivity, arguing that lawmakers should emulate the work ethic of American workers who dedicate five days a week to their jobs.
He highlights the Senate's current inefficiency, noting that the chamber has only been in session for 79 days this year and has failed to pass critical legislation such as the SAVE America Act, which aims to secure elections.
Scott emphasizes that the Senate's frequent adjournments—often leaving work unfinished by Thursday afternoon—hinder progress on vital issues like government funding, spending cuts, and election security.
He calls for a return to a more rigorous legislative schedule, urging Senators to stay in Washington until tasks are completed rather than prioritizing personal time over public responsibility.
Scott attributes the Senate's sluggishness to decades of bipartisan decline, stressing that this dysfunction undermines American interests and the trust of constituents.
His comments come amid growing pressure on Republicans to pass reforms before midterms, with Scott vowing to push for policies he campaigned on in Florida.
