Florida’s gubernatorial candidates were officially selected in the August 26th state primary – incumbent Republican Governor Rick Scott will face former Republican governor and current Democratic candidate Charlie Crist in November’s general election.

Economic analyst Hank Fishkind says whether it’s Scott or Crist, the next governor will face some major financial issues in his first term.

Fishkind begins his overview of those issues with a look at education spending.
