Scott (FL Gov) Gave Tax Deal to Company Running Miami's Child-Migrant Center After Fraud Settlement
http://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/rick-scott-gave-tax-deal-to-miami-child-migrant-contractor-after-it-paid-fraud-settlement-10454179In Homestead, a federal compound housing as many as 1,000 migrant children is managed in part by a federal contractor based in Cape Canaveral called Comprehensive Health Services, which has held a contract at the Homestead camp since February 2018. Sen. Bill Nelson says 94 children at Comprehensive Health's facility have been taken from their parents by U.S. immigration agents.
According to a New Times review of past state documents, that contractor is operating in the Sunshine State thanks to a handy assist from Gov. Rick Scott's administration. In December 2016, Comprehensive Health announced a new project that would "create 150 new jobs" at its Cape Canaveral headquarters — and in exchange, the state in July 2017 awarded the company a $600,000 "qualified target-industry" tax-incentive package.

they are "keeping their powder dry" until later in the summer, as far as commercials go. We all know Scott essentially bought his two terms as Governor via tee vee ads so we'll have to endure another onslaught. I do see a select few PAC ads for Nelson which are calm and measured compared to Scott's attempt to smear him. I just hope someone points out just what exactly Scott DID in the Navy, other than wear a cap that shields his bald head.
