It’s not every day that Yale University gets an offer like this: Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) invited the 315-year-old Ivy League institution to move to the Sunshine State. The Connecticut legislature has a proposal to impose a tax on some investment profits from the university’s $26.5 billion endowment, and Scott seized on the opportunity to tempt the historic New Haven school to warmer climes. “We would welcome a world-renowned university like Yale to our state and I can commit that we will not raise taxes on their endowment,” Scott announced in a news release Tuesday.
