Rick Scott's New Financial Disclosure Only Raises More Questions

In response to Rick Scott’s disclosure that revealed his net worth increased by $130 million since taking office — and over $80 million in the past year — Florida Democratic Party spokesman Nate Evans released the following statement:

“Rick Scott has taken actions as Governor that have directly increased his wealth, all while leaving Floridians left to pay the price of his corruption. With Scott’s net worth more than doubling since taking office, and increasing by over $80 million this year, the extent of Scott’s use of his office to pad his own pockets has become significantly more clear. It’s time Scott answer the mounting questions over his secret financial account so Floridans can see the full scope of how he has used his office to enrich himself.”
