Today, in his latest reelection campaign stunt, Rick Scott announced his education budget for 2014.
When Rick Scott took office, his leadership was tested by the Great Recession. Scott chose to protect corporate tax giveaways and wealthy special interests, and wanted to cut nearly $3.3 billion from education. The next year, he cut $300 million from Florida universities. He failed the test. Rick Scott didn’t help Florida’s kids when they needed his help most.
