What is the matter with Florida voters who would even think of putting this Godfather of
The Mafia back in the Statehouse to rob them even more so?
A news article from the Tampa Bay Times released this article about Scott hiding over 200 million dollars of assets from the people. This is the state that has The Sunshine Law. It has been cloudy, overcast, and raining since The Boss took the job in 2010. It is ALL SHADY.. ALL THE TIME.

TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Rick Scott has failed to report more than $200 million in assets on his state financial disclosure form in violation of the Florida Constitution, Democratic attorney general candidate George Sheldon alleged in a lawsuit filed Wednesday.
Sheldon, a former deputy attorney general under Bob Butterworth, is running against Republican Pam Bondi. His lawsuit, filed in Leon County just weeks before Election Day, accuses the governor of relying on a "web of complex financial arrangements" to shift investments and hide his "financial interests from public view."
This is exactly how he got away with his medicare fraud !
Sheldon is asking a judge to order Scott, Florida's wealthiest governor, to "immediately and accurately disclose all assets he owns or controls," and to declare the governor's "blind trust" in violation of the blind trust law he signed
This is the second lawsuit filed to force the governor to provide Floridians a more complete picture of his personal wealth. Jim Apthorp, a longtime aide to former Gov. Reubin Askew, has sued to force Scott to adhere to the letter of a Florida constitutional requirement that elected officials make a "full and public disclosure." A judge sided with Scott, but Apthorp has filed an appeal.
Sheldon argues that the "blind trust" statute has allowed Scott to place his assets in an account, managed by longtime business associate Alan Bazaar, that shields each asset annually from public view.
I would be very interested to know how often this judge flys, yachts, or golfs with Tricky Rick. " It's just business" as the family says.
Oh and by the way....he will not release his Income Tax Records either. Personally, If there ever was a birth certificate needed to be examined, this one needs to be seen.
I have no clue from which rock or planet the man climbed out from under.
Sheldon's suit argues that a lawsuit is necessary because the Florida Ethics Commission, which oversees the financial disclosure law, does not have the power to compel the governor to file a complete return, only to fine him after the fact. By contrast, he notes, failure to accurately report financial information to the federal SEC or IRS could result in jail time.
"The policing of ethics in the state has no teeth,'' he said.
This bears repeating:
By contrast, he notes, failure to accurately report financial information to the federal SEC or IRS could result in jail time.
That is something long overdue for the top crook of Florida.
The debate between Charlie Crist and Rick Scott takes place tomorrow. The Godfather's
lips will be moving....You know beforehand, he is lying.
