5. RICK SCOTT TRIES TO GIVE FLORIDA’S PRISONS TO CORPORATE AMERICA
Rick Scott, the private prison companies and ALEC (the American Legislative Exchange Council) unsuccessfully backed a plan to privatize Florida’s prisons. The corporate takeover would have cost 3,800 jobs and devastated small communities and working families. This was an effort to give private corporations control of the Florida state prison system.
6. RICK SCOTT VETO’S PRISON REFORM MEASURE
Rick Scott veto of HB 177 a hugely- popular reform measure that would have authorized the Department of Justice to create a drug-treatment intensive program for select non-violent offenders that could have saved tax payers tens of thousands of tax dollars by allowing sentencing courts to convert the remaining prison sentence of those prisoners who successfully completed the program into drug offender probation. This program could have resulted in a reduced rate of recidivism among those participating.
7. RICK SCOTT PULLS PLUG ON HIGH-SPEED RAIL PROJECT
Rick Scott dismantled what would have been America’s first major high-speed rail project. Mayor Pam Iorio blasted Scott’s decision for rejecting the $2.4 billion that would have helped finance high-speed rail and brought new life in Florida’s economy. Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio fought to diversity Florida’s transportation network to compete for jobs with other Sun Belt states, attracted more corporate businesses, provided construction jobs, modernize the transportation system and improve the quality of life.
8. On the first day in office, RICK SCOTT SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER REQUIRING HIS APPROVAL FOR ANY NEW STATE RULES - SHALL WE CALL HIM “KING” SCOTT

10. RICK SCOTT WAS FORCED TO RESIGN FROM COLUMBIA/HCA AS CHAIRMAN AND CEO
The FBI and IRS investigated Columbia/HCA while Rick Scott was in charge. Most of his money came from that company. Columbia/HCA paid $2 billion in fees, reimbursements and lawsuits. This was considered the largest Medicare and Medicaid fraud settlement in U.S. history. Scott made his money in spite of running a company that committed wide scale fraud. As the head of the company committing the largest Medicare fraud in U.S. history, WE ALLOWED HIM TO BE ELECTED GOVERNOR!
