Rick Scott
Trouble In Paradise for Governor Rick Scott [New]
Governor Rick Scott conducts a staff meeting
Apparently the guy who delivered his state’s budget directly to the Tea Party is, mysteriously, finding some difficulty governing:
The governor doesn’t understand there is a State Constitution and that we have three branches of government,” said State Senator Mike Fasano, a Republican from New Port Richey who upset Mr. Scott with rough handling of his staff during a testy committee hearing. “They are talking about the attitude that he is still the C.E.O. of his former health care corporation, and that is not going to work in this state, in Tallahassee, in my district. The people believe in three branches of government.”
Republican lawmakers in Florida were hoping for a smoother transition. Instead, they say, they got top-down management from a political novice.
Who knew?! Apparently a candidate who hates the way government works and panders to loons who want to privatize the police department, once elected, can’t be counted on to participate in a centuries old process of governance.
