Enterprise Florida executive pay increased 75 percent in six years
TALLAHASSEE — Leaders of Enterprise Florida, the state's public-private economic partnership under scrutiny for overspending, increased their executive payroll by $600,000 over six years while only adding two employees, according to salary information obtained by the USA TODAY NETWORK - Florida.
The total amount for executive salaries increased 75 percent from $800,494 for seven positions in 2010-11 to $1.4 million for nine positions in May, the summary information shows.
The agency has refused to release details about those salaries and others, providing only summaries to the Naples Daily News.
Enterprise Florida spokesman Mike Grissom said past agency directors have maintained that Enterprise Florida's public-private status protects specific salary information from public records laws that cover other state agencies. He did not cite an exception in state law, but said lawyers for the agency would offer their opinion on whether the salary information is public in the coming days.
