There is a strong rumor that if Rick Scott wins he will come after teachers, law enforcement and oth

public employees for another 3% pension "contribution".

That was the talk in the legislative session. I have no link but I trust what I've heard and considering he wanted 6% before but only got 3% it is certainly possible.

We simply must defeat Scott. Meanwhile, there are way to few good candidates running for state office, and the state party is a mess.

Didn't he just sign a bill that approves medicinal marijuana? Is it my imagination, but did he just co-opt John Morgan's issue?

If this is accurate, I sense that Scott is in a free-fall. He wouldn't have signed that bill because he supported it. He signed it with the hope of keeping the young, Democratic vote from showing up at the election to vote for the referendum.
