Actually it was a robo call that the Republican Party of Florida paid for. Gov. Scott praised his “Jobs” budget and how it meets his commitment to “put job creation front and center.” He also bragged about his line-item vetoes that eliminated “wasteful special interest spending”—-which was put in the budget the Republican leadership of the state legislature, by the way.
Although we all know that the budget cut school district budgets by 9 percent, Scott boasted of his saving $150 million for schools and school children (a strategy from the Karl Rove playbook –listen to what the official says, not what he does).
Gov. Scott also said he has asked the state legislature to redirect some of his cuts to education. How will the lawmakers do that now that the session had ended? Does Scott plan to call a special session?
Unfortunately, robo calls can’t reply to questions.
