Rumored: Gov. Scott's anti-regulatory jihad to "create jobs" already infecting county planning ... by gimleteye
It is happening: Gov. Scott's plan backed the GOP Florida legislature to knee cap comprehensive land use planning and environmental regulations has landed explosively in county management where permitting for large infrastructure projects and small has been years in the making. For example the requirement by the South Florida Water Management District to hold Miami-Dade accountable for the consequences of too much growth and too little clean water. There is no uncertainty about Scott's intention to hobble regulations, even though he is clueless why they are important. Now, decisions made years ago involving billions in costs and planning are going to be undone-- the effort to make up for the severe political influence of lobbyists and special interests shifting infrastructure costs on the backs of taxpayers-- will be forgotten. Floridians will be living in a dirtier state more under the thumb of lobbyists: the backsliding has begun.

Rick Scott spent over $73 million of money he stole from US taxpayers through Medicare fraud of historic proportions to become the first governor of Florida ever elected with less than 50% of the vote. He gets down on his knees every night and thanks the Lord that he faced the weakest opponent imaginable, the "strategic Democrat" Alex Sink. She couldn't lead her way out of a paper bag.
And now we are stuck with this loon. Well we're stuck with him for awhile but allow me a prediction that I've seen others make: he will never finish his term in office. He's being exposed as the same kind of mental defective as Sarah Palin and like her Scott will quit.
Scott is throwing us back to the stone age in regard to our environment. In one breath he say's we must preserve on natural resources, while his policy's destroy them.
I am concerned he is of loony tune caliber or has the crappiest, dumbest advisors in Florida history and that's a very low bar!
I try to look at some of what he's doing, and I don't disagree with some of it. I just don't think he's living in reality, nor do I think he's ever taken more than a half hour of his time to actually see our natural resources.
It's hard for me to even fathom someone worse than Jeb in office in regard to friends of development (cough) over development interest.
I guess he never learned - living in those projects - history can and does repeat itself.
We need an Egypt-kinda thing to uprise out of this mess, though with the Miami Police Department we'll probably get a Libya-kinda repression.
