Rick Scott continues his attack on this state….today’s headlines:
TALLAHASSEE “” Gov. Rick Scott said he was championing transparency in May when he gave the public access to his emails by posting them online for anyone to see.
But what he failed to say at his May 3 news conference launching “Project Sunburst” was that the emails he made public were not the emails in his official state account. The emails the public actually read online were from a different account used almost exclusively by conservative supporters.
ST PETE TIMES
And just look what the rest of the nation gets to read about us:

If the three justices lose their retention battle, it would give Mr. Scott three court vacancies to fill with his own judicial picks. It would also send a message of intimidation undermining judicial independence and impartiality “” a price no Florida voter should be willing to pay.

In the Heritage Foundation’s Freedom Index, too, the U.S. ranks 21st in the world in terms of freedom from corruption, a considerable distance behind Hong Kong and Singapore. [Transparency International puts the U.S. at 24th.]
Perhaps the most compelling evidence of all comes from the World Bank’s Indicators on World Governance, which suggest that, since 1996, the United States has suffered a decline in the quality of its governance in three different dimensions: government effectiveness, regulatory quality and the control of corruption…”

” Project Sunburst”
Code name for blinding light the keeps you from seeing.
I guess I should e-mail Rick and ask him where all the jobs are?
If he’s still glad he refused the high speed rail money “that California got”. What a flatulent buthead he is.
I wonder if Pam Bondi is going to publish her e-mails?
