Today, the Florida Democratic Party released a web video slamming Governor Rick Scott for “being missing in action over the last several weeks as controversies have beset the Department of Children and Families and the Department of Education, ultimately resulting in the resignation of the agency heads.”
“As scandal after scandal unfolds in Rick Scott’s administration, the Governor has shown an unwillingness and inability to lead,” said Florida Democratic Party Chair Allison Tant. “From Aspen to New York City, Rick Scott has spent these last few weeks traveling the country and state rather than returning to Tallahassee to handle the problems he faces. We need, as the Tampa Bay Times rightly put it, ‘a hands-on chief executive, not one who is more comfortable flying around in his private jet.'”
