Who is Rick Scott prioritizing?
"Turns out that in an election year, Rick Scott doesn't mind spending taxpayer money. The governor on Monday signed into law the largest state budget ever while vetoing the smallest amount of spending since taking office.

This is a budget grounded more in Scott's re-election campaign than in his professed fiscal conservatism." MUST READ
