Gov. Scott touts teacher pay raises at Tampa school stop

Tampa, Florida -- With a big Tallahassee accomplishment under his belt, Governor Rick Scott headed to Tampa's Alexander Elementary School on Friday morning.

It was the last of five stops Scott is making around the state to play up the pay raises he landed for teachers.

It felt like a campaign stop, complete with politicians and a marching band. It even had a campaign name, the "Teacher Pay Raise Victory Tour."

But at the podium, Gov. Scott sounded more like a sincere parent than a political salesman.
