So do I want to go back to what we had or give the present leadership one more term to keep it rolling in a positive direction......Yes....Rick Scott has my vote for at least one more term. Sorry Charlie no vote here.

Over his term the education sector has been cut time after time and for the past years has not been funded for Capital Improvement which means repairs, upgrades and construction of school houses for our children. Some feel that his appointment of Lopez-Cantera is strictly political in hopes of pulling more of the Hispanic vote as well as installing another "YES" person onto the Scott team. A question remains, if the state has unexpected surpluses of funds why not put those toward infrastructure and durable projects instead of cutting back on taxes? Any time there is an unexpected windfall there can also be an unexpected shortfall. Rick Scott will say nearly anything to get back into office.
