If there was a rick scott in his place there would be no Medicaid expansion. He also vetoed legislation that did away with pistol permits. Sure, he was a fascist, gave huge tax breaks to the rich, taxed poor pensioners, poisoned Flint, was an overall sob, but he didn't follow the fascist line blindly like the pigs in the other red states. Glad we have Dems in our high offices again and no more super majority though fascists are still the majority and there will be NO getting along with them if that is our new governors plan.
