Rick Scott signed into law HB 655, a ALEC Written and sponsored bill. the anti-Earned Sick Time, anti-middle class legislation that disproportionately impacts working women and tramples over the power of local government to decide what's best for our communities. Then he jumped on a plane to France for yet another tax payer funded "work trip". 


This is not the act of a governor who cares about Florida's middle class.  
This is the act of a governor with the wrong priorities.
And now it's time we engage people across this state more than ever before.

With one stroke of a pen, Scott sent a clear message to Florida's middle class that he does not care about the needs of working families. His priorities are with big business and his CEO, big donor buddies. And as quoted in the Orlando Sentinel:

"The fact that Rick Scott signed this anti-middle class, anti-family bill into law, then jumped on a plane to France, proves that the governor of Florida does not care about working middle class families and he knows how unpopular and damaging this bill is," Amy Ritter of Florida Watch Action told the Orlando Sentinel.
Help spread this pledge around, so Rick Scott knows we will not sit idly by while he destroys our economy with anti-democratic power grabs. Join the efforts of thousands of Floridians across the state to pink slip Rick.

The gimmick is up and once again, Rick Scott has proven that he will always side with corporations and big business special interests over working middle class Floridians.

Rick Scott signed this anti-middle class bill into law. Now it's up to us to sign the pledge to give him his pink slip.
Thanks,
Amy Ritter, Executive Director
Florida Watch Action
