Rick Scott
Public documents reveal that yet another financial controversy has emerged in connection with Gov. Rick Scott, according to a Tampa Bay Times story.
The article highlights Scott’s financial ties to a vendor operating Florida’s SunPass toll-collection system.
“Scott, a wealthy former hospital executive, saw his net worth skyrocket in 2017 by more than $83 million to more than $232 million — a 55 percent increase over the previous year,” the news story states.
The Republican governor is competing for a U.S. Senate seat, hoping to unseat incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson in the Nov. 6 election.
