Did Rick Scott's Solantic do the drug testing?

[OriginalGeek]

I have a lot of reasons to hate that prick but I wanna make sure I hate on him for true reasons. I've only found this so far:

"Florida Governor Rick Scott (Republican) passed into law a bill mandating drug testing for those on public assistance. The company he founded, Solantic, does a big drug testing business. Although Scott divested himself of interest in the company in January, the controlling share went to a trust in his wife’s name."

It doesn't outright say Solantic did the testing - just that there was testing (thanks for stealing 178 million dollars, pRick) and that Solantic is a company that does those.

thanks in advance.


and what the hell was he doing closing the state's only TB facility? Knowing that an outbreak of tuberculosis was happening?

1. Whether Scott's company got the contracts or not it helped his bottom line

by promoting and funding the drug testing industry. This obviously creates more demand keeping prices up and competition down by expanding the market.

Couple this with closing state hospital facilities and his former company's involvement with Medicare fraud in the past you'd think people would want this man behind bars rather than as governor.

RICK SCOTT KNOWS NO SHAME

2. Hopefully, one day, Americans will wake the F up when they vote ... maybe

just try to learn a few facts ... remove the noose around their head as guided around like a herb of sheep, and quite following the Lemmings, but I do have my doubts.

Instead, far too many will sit like warts and get their facts from the latest TV commercial and then run out and vote.

And far too many it will seem plot and plan how to best vote in their own worst possible interest. And others will let everyone else do stuff for them, right or wrong.

And others like Rick Scott will slither into office.

3. Thank you both!

I'm definitely a Floridian who thinks Rick Scott should be in jail instead of the governor's mansion.

I'm trying to fire up family and friends so hopefully pointing out his many failures will get them thinking the right way and get them to firing up their friends and their friends...
