Not everyone likes to hunt and fish.

Scott was elected for *exactly* that reason. Governor Scott was elected for one reason alone: more people voted for him to be governor than voted for anyone else to be governor. Why they voted as they did has many reasons. I assume each voter voted conscience or pocketbook or both. Some people just vote for their TEAM. Some don't like women. Some people like baldies (I didn't say lots do, just that some do). Some liked his mother saying he's a good boy. Some hoped he would make Florida government better than it already was. And, of course the ones who voted against him or for others had their own reasons. Votes are a tally of individual decisions, including whether or not to bother to vote. David for perfect politicians Nonsense. Scott was elected for *exactly* that reason.

I used to hear that all the time after the election. Those conversations have certainly stopped. I guess that hope and change isn’t going too well for anyone." Nonsense. Scott was elected for *exactly* that reason. Hope and change? Scott may be bringing change but he ain't about hope. He's about money. His own.

Oh and Jack I'll bet it was a good meal. Hey Dan

Come on, folks, be logical. If you want a walking trail donate your time and go work on one. Want a splash pad? Sell doughnuts and magazines, bag groceries and wash cars - let the kids work for the money and they can claim the park as their own. why pay for a walking trail or splash pad when education and prisons are being cut?

If my memory serves me , for every dollar the federal govt. is spending, 43 cents of it is borrowed money. Much of this debt is being held by foreign govts. like the Chineese. We have to drastically cut back both our local, state and federal budgets. Why do kids need a "splash pad" when we have many creeks and streams around within walking distance. When I was growing up there was a trail leading to every creek and swimming hole in the area. Grants are not free money, someone eventually has to pay for them, in this case it will be our grandkids, because our federal deficit is so big that this generation won't live long enough to pay it back!
