Floridians are reading report after report about how Scott is prioritizing his self-serving politics at Floridians’ expense. Whether it’s installing his unqualified political cronies to key positions at the Departments of Emergency Management and Revenue, or ignoring mounting scandals across his administration while he campaigns, Scott keeps showing how he’s only ever looking out for one person: himself.
From Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman David Bergstein: “The damaging revelations about Scott’s cronyism and the scandals plaguing his administration as he works to advance his political ambitions keep reinforcing the central case against him: he’s only ever looking out for himself.”
