"On
June 16, with much fanfare and self- congratulation, Gov. Rick Scott
signed the so-called Compassionate Medical Cannabis Act of 2014 into
law. It legalized a non-euphoric strain of pot called Charlotte's Web,
authorized a few centers around the state to conduct research on low-THC
dope, and established an Office of Compassionate Use. And so you saw
headlines sprout up on websites hither and yon to the effect of "Florida
Legalizes Medical Marijuana," often accompanied by Scott's smiling mug." Rick
Scott is a Tea Party ultra conservative that is against anything that
his god or representative of god tells him is wrong. He's unable to
think on his own.He's a stagnant leader, with few qualifications and
only wants to line his pockets. He is one of Florida's least popular
governors for several reasons.
1.He's cut spending and rejected $2 billion in federal money for
high-speed rail. He's required state employees to begin contributing
part of their salaries to their pensions and signed a law tightening
restrictions on groups that register new voters.
2. In order to reform public pensions, he cut spending on education,
slashed environmental regulations and eliminated and curbed
development.
3.Scott took pride in cutting an additional $615 million out of the budget with his line-item vetoes.
4.A recent poll by Quinnipiac University found that 57 percent of
Floridians disapprove of the job Scott is doing as governor. Only 29
percent approve — the lowest rating of any governor in any state in
which polls have been conducted.
5.Scott's a former hospital CEO who ran for governor on the promise
he would operate Florida's state government like a business. He spent
about $70 million of his own money on the race and eked out a razor-slim
win, becoming governor with less than 50 percent of the vote.
6.At 10.8 percent, unemployment in Florida is still well above the
national average. And nearly 1 in 5 homeowners is behind on mortgage
payments.
