Rick Scott: pay cuts for union workers … raises for his appointees...
http://blog.reidreport.com/2011/03/rick-scott-pay-cuts-for-union-workers-raises-for-his-staff/

Rick Scott says he’s running Florida like a business. Apparently, that business is on Wall Street.
And just like Wall Street, the big boys are getting raises, while the low level staffers are getting the shaft.

But not everybody is being asked to sacrifice. From the Florida Tribune:

State employees haven’t received a raise in more than four years, but most agency heads that Gov. Rick Scott has appointed are making $20,000 a year more than their predecessors.


Some former agency heads now are making more money under Scott than when they previously served as heads of those agencies.

1. What a frightening pic.



Scott and John Malkovich must have been separated early in life.
But I'd have to say Scott is much more menacing and disturbing.

3. I wonder how many union workers voted for him without realizing
what his true agenda was? And what could the press have done better to inform us what his agenda was really about?

6. He refused to sit down with any editorial board before the election. That was one of many
huge red flags for me.

4. I still don't know how this jerk got elected.
I live in Fl and my friends and I do not know anyone who voted for him. He is a crook, nothing more!

5. Marew, that's because you and I live in Dumbfukistan
I have relatives that voted for this dick and who are pleased with the job he's doing. I have no idea why, and after asking them it's become clear that neither do they.

It's just what they feel they are supposed to believe, because they hear it on FPTV (Fox Propaganda Television).
