They story of a lady named Elizabeth Gondles went quietly under the radar.She was an advisor to gov. Scott who in charge of the outsourcing of the prison health care contract….until somebody found out that the health care companies that wanted the contract had to be accredited by a firm where her husband is employed. This basically made it possible for gov Scott to pick and choose what company could get the contract instead of going through the proper process. It literally took months for thema to make this privatization effort to look like a legitimate process to save money…they are not doing what they were elected to do….blaming public employees is not the answer and its not right….just like trying to privatize prisons to the companies that contribute to Scotts campaign…absolutely shameful…after all this corruption I’ve changed my affiliation from republican to independent.

I fail to see the “sneaky and dirty” concept. These people are doing what they were elected to do. That is to balance a budget that has been long out of control. I applaude whether they be Republican or Democrat to keep cutting and trying to give the taxpayers what we rightfully deserve. As previously stated the toes being stepped on are the ones doing the squawling.

Don’t you love how our republicans always find a way to do things in a sneaky, dirty manner. But still they represent your values and morals, now don’t they. Doesn’t say much for those who elect them.
