One Year Lobbying Ban for Members of Governor-elect’s Transition Team

 

[scooterbug44]

I don't understand - his staff members are not supposed to lobby anyone during his term and for one year after?

Pretty sad that following the law and being ethical is something that has to be emphasized and spelled out, but kudos to him for trying.

What a tool, I don't care what political persuasion you might hail from, this guy reeks of scandal.

Here's a link to the actual document:

I find it interesting that someone who ran on a smaller government and tax savings platform is making his entire transition team sign something that is completely redundant.

BTW, scooterbug it's not after his term, it's only one year after he's transitioned to office so they still have 3 years of his term to get in trouble. I can't believe the pomp and circumstance surrounding this, it's normally done without near this press. I'm sure we'll see countless press releases as he oozes into office.

Why would any individual (and in this case an unrepentant felon) spend $50,000,000.00 of their own personal money on a campaign to get a job that pays only about 135,000 per year? ...

Or does Rick Scott have a plan to steal the money back from us Floridians in someway, maybe even doubling it?

This is actually a serious question?

The figure I heard was $74 million dollars he spent on his campaign. It's hard to comprehend what his motives are, but it sure is scary to me.

This is about revenge, he's got his Nixon revenge list ready.

Actually closer to 74 million. My only thoughts are when you gather up so much money that there is no way that you can spend it in some sort of a normal fashion, it must take on a lower value. At least perceived.

I read this morning he is also a proponent of
open carry'. Yahoo, the tourist are going to be shocked when they get here and we are all strapped.

If you look at this guy's history, you'll realize he's driven himself to accomplish great things all his life. His run for governor is the continuation of that.

As far as the spending goes, I don't think it's fiscal economies of scale. You have to include personal achievement as received value.

Your theory, about gaining fabulous sums of money and it losing its relative value, is very interesting. If somebody could just give me a fabulous sum of money, I could let y'all know if that theory holds up...

Stealing Medicare money (our tax dollars) is accomplishing great things? You're delusional. And don't give us the crap that he didn't know about it. If so, he wasn't much of a CEO, was he?
