It would take a fool to trust a government run by professional politicians, who are run by the self interests that put them in office.

It is reported that there are about 1000 of these Internet Sweepstakes Cafes in Florida, some taking in $100,000 a week and our reps in Tallahassee want to wait a year to pass any legislation outlawing these illegal places! Any wonder why so many people have NO trust in the government! Just follow THE MONEY!

It will take Florida a very long time to catch up with the pros in Chicago and Detroit. They seem to have an endless back bench.

Good riddence.....

Too bad Florida's voters can't seem to elect honest people. It's our job to say NO when these people run for office.

A Republican who is connected to Rick Scott and involved with illegal activity??? Say it ain't so!!!!!!!

Two words that should NEVER be in the same sentence, "Trust and Government"!
Surely you jest.

Why cant Scott just resign instead of waiting for us to just throw him out.

If this was a democrat the article would have stated It.Just saying!

Authorities refused to discuss any ties between the 53-year-old Republican and the investigation. Her aides had no comment.
Carroll said in a statement Wednesday that neither she nor the public relations firm was targeted in the probe, and she stepped down so that her ties to the organization would not be a distraction for Republican Gov. Rick Scott's administration.

Yeah. She would not want to distract us from hearing about the 1 and a half billion rick Scott defrauded the government out of.

My Campaign for Lieutenant Governor

With more than 60 likes on Facebook, my campaign for Lieutenant Governor seems to have unstoppable momentum. Nevertheless I thought I should put forward my basic qualifications for the job so that you have confidence that you are getting the best of all possible Lieutenant Governors.

--As a native Floridian, I have a basic understanding of our culture, history and laws.

--I am happy to give a speech. Or not.

--I promise not to use taxpayer money on extravagant travel expenses, security details or staff.

--As your appointed Lieutenant Governor, I will not accept campaign contributions from anyone.

--I am hopeful that I will not be indicted before the end of my term.

--I promise not to run for Governor in 2014.

Welcome to the bandwagon!

Anyone who thinks that an appointee of Gov Rick Scott will be trustworthy must be one who was foolish enough to have voted for Scott. I am not a fool. I will never trust the man, nor his promises.

Jennifer who??????
I think she may be very relieved to have an excuse to not be unceremoniously tossed out of office along with her boss as will happen next year. Some people will do anything to distance themselves from Governor Bozo.
I don't think we have heard the last of this "scandal and The Lieu's involvement in it. Typical greed, lack of morals & common sense.
"ME MEMEMEMEMEMEMEME ME!
I'm a public servant (R). How can I use it for financial gain??"

That doesn't really have anything to do with with ex Lt. Gov. Whatsername, now does it? If it's the truth, that's not casting any stones. It's simply the truth. The vermin run for cover when the rock is lifted and they are exposed to daylight.

Too bad there's no law against being stupid. We could legalize drugs, change Florida politics forever, and still keep the prisons full for those we inexplicably pay to run them.

I have lived in 9 States in the USA. I moved to Florida in 1987 , I can say from personal experience, from being victimized in two hate crimes, harassed by neighbors /Adults and their children and extended family and networks, I recall so many abuses of power in local Government and State wide, everything from deaths being covered up, to false arrest Corruption from the top down at every level , remember Harry Lee Coe? Judge Ward < Cynthia Holloway, for Starters Judge Allen admitting using Pot and Cocaine yet seated to judge people who di the same and less .The abuse of Power in HRS is a historical crime ignored by the Media and public, What about detention Cops stopping and killing a child under age 15 , what about children who are charged as adult such a Lionel Tate when adult are let off lite. The games of redistricting to control political land scape are a few reason why the traditional networks have failed to earn Public trust , The collective mind appears hypnotized by cleverly prepared political rhetorical messages laced with double speak. what about the State Boys Institution where atrocities on defenseless children was carried out , freely by the Sate and the victims and family's rights was viewed as void This is a national disgrace in every state in the US, children are molested and abused by Teachers and Coaches and band Leaders , Doctors and so called pillars of the community and lets not forget the Religious institutions Criminal Judges .

I'm just happy she found employment so quickly:

Don't worry, folks, I'm sure you will get a chance to vote for her in a few years and rest assured, if she was presented as the choice for one side, those buying into the Left/Right paradigm WILL most assuredly vote for her.

By the way, BUD, what is so illegal with the 21st century bingo halls? Talk about following the money..........grandpa and grandma must only play in the State sponsored sweepstakes, IE: the lottery and of course the casinos.....we cannot have common folks competing with the mafia Govt racket.

Funny how the majority have a distrust of Govt, yet most line up like good lil slaves to select their chosen masters every few years. The sheeple still support their side, even though both sides are one in the same.

Every single week there is so much evidence where the allegiance of these criminals lie and it surely isn't with you and I.......We the People:
