REGARDING:
“Hey all of you ” government workers” still complaining about “your” 3% ,.. Its for “your” own retirement!!! Please explain why the taxpayers should pay for ” your” own retirement?? ”
.
I never complain and am used to being lied to, but since you asked…

When two parties negotiate in good faith regarding compensation and agree on that compensation, not living up to the agreement is normal and lawful. In this case the compensation included payment by the district of retirement. Others do it differently, but this was what was agreed upon.

After the agreement, the governor and state legislature decided to steal part of what they agreed to pay, citing practices elsewhere to break their word. This is lying and stealing even if they pretend we will get it back because we are obviously getting less than they agreed to pay — they agreed to pay plus benefits. They all lied.

Imagine being told your job comes with $30,000 plus a car and then they decide to deduct $500/month from your pay because that is what others have to pay to rent that particular car. You took the job because of the whole package, not the money less however much they decided after the fact to keep.

Does it make sense yet?

Hey all of you ” government workers” still complaining about “your” 3% ,.. Its for “your” own retirement!!! Please explain why the taxpayers should pay for ” your” own retirement?? Also, all of you teachers , Scott created a fiscal environment that has seen budget surpluses in this state(1of only a few) and the teachers have received everything you have asked for, collectively from this administration… Because of the surpluses created by the cutbacks and “cleaning up” of the democrats mess!!

Crist vetoed the 3% retirement that Scott signed into a bill to take money out of the paycheck of state employees. No one who is state worker (including teachers) with good sense will vote for Scott. I find it humorous that some folks will believe a 60 sec advertisement on TV that Scott got all the jobs and Crist did not. Surely you are smart enough to know that TV political advertisements do not have to be truthful from either party.

REGARDING:
“Does anybody think Scott would really spend almost 100 million of “OUR” money he stole from Medicare for no personal gain?”

It might not be THAT money; it might be some other money he got from legitimate sources.

Further, there’s nothing wrong with personally gaining if his gain is that of making Florida a better place for his grandchildren and constituents.

AND
“Scott is a crook. He shouldn’t be able to buy your vote and an election.”

If he‘s a crook, he’s an unconvicted crook.
Considering the size of the haul, that’s quite an accomplishment.
Don’t you want him working FOR you rather than against you?

He isn’t buying our vote with the money he spends. He hopes to convince folks to vote for him but that is not the same thing as paying people to vote for him. Crist is also spending money to try to convince people to vote for HIM and we KNOW that isn’t vote-buying.

“IF Crist cost us jobs, then so did Bush.”

And if he didn’t, that means Bush is innocent too?

You should be very wary of anyone who spends 73 million of his own money to get a 130K a year job. It almost suggests he is getting compensated in some other way. Like receiving money from GEO Group( privatized prisons) and who knows what other special interest groups.

If you actually watched the debates, you would know who to vote for and it’s Crist.

Scott is a crook. He shouldn’t be able to buy your vote and an election. If you take the R and D from their names, Crist is the overwhelming choice.

For those that want to talk about jobs/economy, look at the national picture. IF Crist cost us jobs, then so did Bush. If Scott has regained those jobs, make sure to thank Obama. Unfortunately, that will never happen.
