How in the world did the representative with the negative net worth get such a large mortgage?

The Ring Leader is Gov Rick Scott with a net worth of $ 147 Million
Dollars that he keeps hidden away in a blind trust in his wife’s name.
But he can transfer 12.8 million out of this trust to help fund his
Re-election campaign. But we the citizens of Florida are not allowed
To see where this money is coming from. But Gov Scott can post the yearly salary of every state employee on the internet at Florida’s right to know .com. Such hypocrisy I suppose the sunshine law
And disclosure does not apply to him. Gov Scott vetoes all the funding
For Northwest Florida projects including funding for the elderly and
Disabled children and then approves 2 million dollars for a Sea Wall
Around a golf course in Orange county in south Florida. And then vetoes
A $ 2000 pay raise for State of Florida Forrest service firefighters
That have to support their families on $ 24 thousand dollars a year base pay. Shame on you Gov Scott.

We all know by now that it takes a lot of money to buy power.

This is why it is so crazy that the legislators (via Pam Bondi) have allotted themselves 25% of the BP billions coming to Florida. Why are we letting them do this? They already have so many opportunities to create wealth. That 25% shouldn’t go to them at all. They get a salary. For Christ’s sake, they are public servants. Since when do you hear of millionaire servants?

The majority of Florida residents are NOT millionaires. A politician worth a few million bucks can really relate to someone living close to the poverty line.
