Florida’s Rick Scott Busted In Corporate Welfare Scheme

His administration’s Department of Economic Opportunity in 2014 violated federal law to make a deal to provide financial incentives to a U.S. company with ties to the Russian maker of the Kalashnikov semi-automatic assault rifle, which at the time was subject to sanctions put in place by the U.S. government.
-----
it offered $162,000 in tax refund incentives to Kalashnikov USA for 54 jobs. It is located in a non-descript 40,000 square foot facility in 
Pompano Beach. here

There's no bottom to the depth of corruption to which the Republican Party and Rick Scott will sink. It is not a matter of setting aside their ethics on occasion, it's a matter of having no ethics at all. We bitch about how dumb the American people are to elect da Trumpf, but Floridians elected Scott, a criminal, as governor and gave him free reign to treat them like dirt while using his position freely for lining his pocket with the fruits of their labors.
