On Tuesday in Jacksonville, Congresswoman Corrine Brown announced her ballot access drive for a ballot initiative called Creation of a Healthy Florida Plan.
She was dismissive of Governor Rick Scott‘s tax cuts that save “$10 on your light bill,” saying they are a smoke screen for a larger grift.
“Floridians are being taxed,” Brown said, adding that money is being “sent to Washington” then “sent to other states.”
When asked about Brown’s comments and her push for a ballot initiative on Veterans Day, Scott didn’t seem to find the argument compelling.
If “the federal government wants to do a program,” Scott said, it should “put the money up.”
Scott’s approach, still, is to “do everything we can to drive down costs,” including targeting “price gouging.”
When asked if his political operation might agitate against Brown’s drive to get this on the ballot next November, he repeated his previous formulation.
“When the federal government wants to do a program,” Scott said, it “should put up all the money.”
