During the yearly gathering of the nation’s Republican governors and Republican governors-elect, they meet to discuss policy priorities and look ahead.
The governors gathering in Florida say Donald Trump’s victory gives them a chance to push wish lists for “disruptive change.”
That’s what Gov. Rick Scott told his peers on Monday.
GOP governors are likely to want sweeping changes to Medicaid, education and transportation. Some GOP leaders want to change Medicaid, the safety net health care program for the poor, into a federal block grant program that gives states more control.
Republicans will hold at least 32 GOP Governorships in 2017, tying the modern record for the most Republican Governors in the post-World War II era.
