You missed it. One thing leads to another. This is the same song, second verse. Are there no people in governmental positions who are NOT corrupt? I gave Obama as an example as another one who also chooses to surround himself with corruption.

So we will soon be on our 4th eduction commissioner in 2 and a half years?!?! What are you playing at up there in Tallahassee, Gov. Voldemort? Btw, @ THE DOER, what in the world does Pres. Obama have to do with the resignation of Florida’s education commissioner?

Robert S.,
You seem to be correct in your statement that Gov. Scott appears to “have a unique ability to draw to him advisors who at least have something questionable in their past.” Perhaps Gov. Scott, however, is simply following the lead of the U.S. President, who constantly surrounds himself with people like that. It’s a theme that permeates every area of government.

(Cry me a river) (Back home in Indiana), the real Tony Bennett can really sing but this guy only sings for big contributions. He needs to go back, oh wait, they don’t want him back.

There seems to be a recurring theme for Florida’s Gov. Scott to have a member of his cabinet, or other of his political appointees, to be in trouble with one thing or another.
Gov. Scott appears to have a unique ability to draw to him advisors who at the least have something questionable in their past.
Unfortunately, as in this case with Bennett the person in the news had far-reaching influences over our schools and our children.
Ah, Jeb, is there not a timber of education where you are not being influential?

Seems odd we can’t keep anyone in that position for very long. Too bad about Mr. Bennett…he seemed to be doing a good job so far.
