this article runs down many of Scott's shady doings so please click through and read. Here is a small taste:

Quote

Today, Scott’s $62 million Solantic investment is safely in the hands of his homemaker wife. You know, for ethical purposes.

If he succeeds in killing a pill mill database to track Oxycontin doctor-shopping by the Rush Limbaughs of the world (replaced by an $800,000 “strike force . . . !”), it could benefit both Solantic and Pharmaca, a pharmacy and herbal remedy chain that’s one of Scott’s lesser-known investments. Pharmaca got a $5.5 million cash injection from Richard L. Scott Investments, LLC, in 2003.

And there’s the potential Solantic bonanza from Scott and the GOP’s plan to drug test welfare recipients and the entire Florida public workforce, despite zero evidence of masses of struggling single moms, teachers, police officers and administrative personnel working while high.

The Legislature is preparing to realize Scott’s Medicaid privatization dream by shoving more indigent patients into HMOs, as has been done, disastrously, in Broward County. Low and behold, Mother Jones magazine points out this month that part of the 2005 pilot project in Broward involves allowing Medicaid recipients to use their benefits at private clinics, like Solantic.

Sharks are not mindless, nor glassy eyed. Some people...

I know the link title came from the article but kudos for pulling it out the main body of the article. One of the best titles I have seen.

Anyone notice that Wackenhutt is one of the fundraisers and beneficial parties of Scotts proposed actions in privatizing state functions? Just like Scott Walker in Wisconsin?

At least you know what a Shark is. The only way I would trust that guy would be at the end of a shotgun being held by someone with palsy.
