1. Well, since the GOP doesn't give a F about the country or people, this makes sense for him! n/t

[KPN]

2. "We" being him and his cohorts, of course not! They have helicopters! They "don't need

no stinking bridges!"

3. Just wait for the first Florida hurricane this year

He'll be screaming for Federal money

[Postal Grunt]

4. Time for Mr Scott to reset..

If Mr Scott ever realizes how much money is realized from tourism to Key West, FL, he should find a way to walk back that foolish statement.

5. I voted against this guy.... multiple times

He just won’t go away

6. Rick should propose an amendment blocking Florida

from receiving any stimulus funds.

7. When I moved to the middle of nowhere in 1993

There was a rickety old bridge that was part of the access to our home ...

It survived the flood of ‘93 and again in ‘95 ...

It made me nervous .... I looked at the piling under it one day and realized it was shifting ... I went to the County Commission meeting and told them it was unsound ... they told me I didn’t know what I was talking about ... I quit driving across it ... taking a much longer path out ...

About 6 weeks later, the bridge collapsed ... it was out for about 2 years, until they could get a government grant to help pay for it ... the local farmers could not access their fields ...

8. Pretty sure there are a LOT of bridges in Florida

What an idiot

9. I never could figure out what

this medicare cheat stands for except for taking tax dollars and stuffing his pockets with them.

Emailing both him and littlemarco is like talking to 4 year olds. they don't discuss policy they just run a line of bullshit a mile or two long.

I've come to realize that floriduh politics is like a sinkhole. Last decent gov was Bob Graham. The rest of the time it's been more than sad for the citizens but through gerrymandering the pukes stay in office.

How do we change that?

10. No, Rick. Bridges grow like mushrooms.

11. Rick flies with a propeller on his tin-foil hat.

12. pRick Scott should know better

My husband's first father in law was a bridge inspector in the South East US, working out of North Florida. Back in the early 1970s he'd come back from inspection tours and give his family a list of bridges to avoid driving over. Fortunately, most have not failed as he predicted, but poor maintenance on bridges has been a problem for over fifty years now.

I guess pRick needs something like the bridge failure of Minneapolis I-35W bridge to convince him that we need to pay for bridges.

I think of all the bridges in South Florida and wonder how his rich friends would like it if they failed.
