Rick Scott Targets Domestic Violence Group Salary

Tampa Bay Times:

For the past decade, Florida law has required that tax money to aid victims of domestic violence be controlled by a single group.

But Gov. Rick Scott wants to end the relationship after his office discovered the group's president is paid more than $300,000 a year.

Like his "Other" questionable decisions?

He "Decided" to bilk Medicare out of millions....It was due only to the poor judgment of the FL. judiciary that he is not currently in prison.

Yeah, if a program works and is successful, kill it.

That's what Republicans do.

When was the last time that Rick Scott made a non-questionable move?

So what specific company did he want to have the unemployed and those on welfare pee into a cup to get their welfare or unemployment?

His or his wives?

She said her salary is set by the coalition's 11-member board, based on a study of salaries of CEOs of comparable nonprofits.....
.................the national head of the Salvation Army knocks down $13,600.00.....(& gets housing )..
But the Army is different , whereas they want the money collected to actually go to services of their clients.........
......The head of the SA "whole life is about this & the moneyis not important....
Where are your donations going to go ...to the top...of to the bottom ?

Why is 300K a problem when the GOP thinks 300 million is just fine in the private sector? Don't they make the same comparisons between private and public sector employees and when there's a fraction of a percent difference fly into a rage? Paying CEO's obscene sums just adds value right? Oh no! Is this another hypocritical GOP moment? I know they are so common as to be the norm!

*The efficiency-minded Scott looks for cases of questionable spending, and Sen. Mike Bennett, R-Bradenton, was eager to comply.

He should know where to look for questionable spending, he was a pro at stealing from Medicare; as the old saying goes, it takes a crook to know a crook...

Not a Rick Scott fan, however, I don't see a problem with this. Why should this person make 300k a year, that money should go to the victims not the public servant.

Scott is doing exactly what he said he would do if elected. More than one group should get funding.

I guess this person when questioned can do like Scott and simply take the 5th seventy-five times.

They are his usual T/baggers looking for a photo opp. The goon squad usually seen with Scott
are called body guards.
