Is two face enough or do we
need more?
:-(
Let's wake up America, for
GOD SAKE please, let's wake up?
Gaming as in gambling is
against the law in Florida apparently unless you are a Floridian politician looking to full your election campaign
coffers?
One of these politicians, our
governor has been filling his reelection coffers from the first day of election
back in 2010?
The internal emails were
written just four months after the creating of Scott's political action
committee,
"Let's Get to Work"
was formed with the express
purpose of supporting Rick Scott and no other candidates.
Last year "Let's Get to
Work" took in $825,000 in campaign contributions from casino and resort
interests including $250,000 from Adelson, two $50,000 payments from Donald Trump,
$10,000 from Boyd Gaming, and $50,000 from dog track owners The Racing
Corporation of West Virginia.
Just two months after his
2010 meeting with Adelson in Las
Vegas, Scott said in a press conference,
"I haven't taken any position other than the position I've already said. I
do not want our budget to be tied to gaming."
In May of 2011, Scott vetoed
$400,000 for a comprehensive gambling study saying in his veto, "Such a
study at this time is an expense Florida taxpayers should not incur".
Two years after
the governor's veto, the Florida
Legislature approved funding for a two-part
gambling study. Part two of the study will be released on Oct. 1. However,
part one of the study was released earlier this year.
Not to be outdone check this
out? :-(
