Since you live in SoFlo you no doubt know the entire saga about Rick Scott and alimony reform.
The Florida Legislature passed legislation TWICE that would have eliminated alimony in Florida divorce cases. Rick Scott had said that he would sign it.
The first bill he vetoed because it was retroactive, which he felt would be unfair to women already dependent upon alimony and toss them onto the public dole.
So the Legislature redid the bill. It passed again, this time without the retroactive provision. It went to Scott’s desk.
At this point the NOW gang decided for the first time in history that they really supported the idea of stay-at-home moms. They lobbied fiercely, and one day before it would have become law without his signature Scott vetoed the bill.
Thus he reneged on his promise twice. I don’t have a dog in the fight when it comes to divorce law in Florida, but to me that is all emblematic of a jelly-spined individual.
Elect him to higher office at your peril.
No, not familiar.
