Scott to Jesse Jackson: Say you're sorry

TALLAHASSEE -- A day after civil-rights advocate Jesse Jackson suggested Florida's laws were racist and compared its governor to segregationist George Wallace, Gov. Rick Scott issued a statement calling on him to apologize.

Today, Governor Rick Scott released the following statement in response to remarks from Jesse Jackson who yesterday called Florida “the Selma of our time.” Jackson has also referred to Florida as the “Apartheid State.”

Governor Rick Scott said, “Jesse Jackson owes every Floridian an apology for his reckless and divisive comments. It is unfortunate that he would come to Florida to insult Floridians and divide our state at a time when we are striving for unity and healing. Floridians are a strong, resilient people. We are fortunate to live in a great state where all Floridians enjoy opportunities to get a great job and a world-class education.”

But Jackson on Tuesday dialed up the criticism to suggest Florida's justice and voting systems were intentionally designed to disenfranchise blacks.

"You incentivize killing people," he said to a crowd of protesters.

5. This state exploits its own people.

I can understand why Rick Scott cannot see that. He only rubs elbows with the class that does the exploitation.

Rick Scott, who ran a company involved in the nation's largest Medicare fraud case, wants to be Florida's governor

May 20, 2010|By Sally Kestin, Sun Sentinel

It was and still is the biggest Medicare fraud case in U.S. history and ended with the hospital giant Columbia/HCA paying a record $1.7 billion in fines, penalties and damages.

Now the man who ran the company at the time wants to be Florida's governor.

Rick Scott was co-founder and CEO of Columbia/HCA in the 1990s, when the FBI launched a massive, multi-state investigation that led to the company pleading guilty to criminal charges of overbilling the government...

Never faced charges

Scott was never charged and left Columbia/HCA with $10 million in severance and stock valued at $300 million.

Scott was unaware of the billing practices and "would have fired any employees found engaged in that activity," Baker said.

Alderson thinks Scott had to know...
