Rick Scott Auditions for the 47% 0
Republicans: Agin’ that evul fedrul guvmint money until except when they ain’t.
Florida governor Rick “Lex Luthor” Scott (R–Medicare Fraud) is miffed that he can’t stick his hand into the fedrul cash drawer.
Fugate’s letter stated that the damage was not severe enough to require federal aid, and basically argued that Florida could handle the costs on its own.
The rejection is the latest dust-up in a tenuous relationship between Scott and the federal government.
Shortly after coming into office, Scott rejected more than $2 billion in federal funds aimed at building a high-speed rail line. Obama criticized Scott for the snub, saying he thought it was “wrong.”
