Rick Scott Gets Six-Figure Donations from a Private Prison Company Detaining Immigrants
Posted on July 24, 2018
From TBOs Steve Bousquet, 4/23/2018:
Gov. Rick Scotts new U.S. Senate campaign report shows generous support from a Florida-based company with a controversial track record, the Boca-Raton based corrections giant the GEO Group.
GEO operates immigrant detention facilities in Florida and Texas that are at the center of a raging national debate over President Donald Trumps no tolerance immigration policies.
At a time when other candidates are distancing themselves from GEO by returning the companys money, Scott reports $10,800 from GEOs chief executive, George Zoley, and his wife Donna, in his second quarter report filed with the Federal Elections Commission.
Scotts Super PAC reported $125,000 from a GEO Group subsidiary, GEO Acquisition II, and the governors Victory Fund listed $78,600 from the Zoleys. The donations total $214,000.
