quid pro quo...Rick Scott proves again he's a crook...

"TALLAHASSEE — A month after Gov. Rick Scott took a secret hunting trip to the King Ranch in Texas last year, he faced a big decision.
A seat had come open on the board that oversees Florida's efforts on the multi-billion-dollar project to repair damage to the Everglades caused by agriculture. To fill that position, Scott picked a corporate executive named Mitchel A. "Mitch" Hutchcraft.
Hutchcraft's major qualification for a seat on the South Florida Water Management District board: He is the vice president in charge of the King Ranch's Florida agricultural acreage.
"That's astounding," said David Guest of the Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund, which has repeatedly sued the agency over its protection of Lake Okeechobee and other water-related issues."

Thanks to the Times for investigating this...

Rick Scott, the worst governor ever!

People do not like blatant corruption, governments have fallen when passion is aroused by corruption.

They caught Al Capone for tax evasion. They can get this creep for something!
