TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida Gov. Rick Scott denied Friday that he's flip-flopped on his opposition to an expansion of gambling and said he won't make his flight plans public when using his private jet for state business.

Those comments came at Scott's first formal news conference since taking office Tuesday.

It was a brief but wide-ranging encounter with the press corps that lasted just less than 17 minutes. Scott also was asked about some of the high salaries he's paying his staff, his order freezing state rule-making and his relationship with the media.

The multimillionaire Republican businessman used five minutes to recap his first days as governor before taking questions.
