Rick Scott Will Lay Out Cuts For Developmentally Disabled, Then Attend A Special Olympics Photo-op
Edited on Thu Mar-31-11 11:58 AM by JCMach1
Today, Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) will announce deep cuts to programs that help the developmentally disabled in his state. Scott will invoke his “emergency powers” to impose a 15 percent cut to the rates charged by group home workers and case workers that help the 30,000 Floridians ...

Those who provide services to the developmentally disabled are already decrying the cuts. “This would be a catastrophe,” … Even more galling, today — the same day his cuts are announced — Scott is scheduled to appear at a Special Olympics Torch Run with his wife and other state officials…... http://rickscottsucks.us/?p=3619

You can help tell Rick Scott what you think by joining my Facebook page calling for his resignation:

2. That's the Bush legacy to GOP politicians...photo op with any issue you're about to decimate so the
media becomes part of your coverup.

5. We live in an age that openly accepts criminals as leaders
as long as they are the richy rich, white collar criminals...one day an ADULT will come along and put a stop to all this tomfoolery.

7. It would be really neat if
the participants in the photo op turned their backs to the official photog every time Rickie boy got in the picture.

8. That is bold and cold
Someone should show up at the photo-op with leaflets and signs proclaiming his hypocrisy.

11. I would think that having the Governor there would
lessen their fund raising abilities among real supporters of the Special Olympics. Wouldn't they raise more if they took a stand against allowing him there?
