No, but that isn't what you asked.
I’m not a Floridian and was only trying to help by posting the Rasmussen survey news. Didn’t Scott pass a bill for raising the age for purchasing rifles to 21? If so, then you have a good point.
And if so, my guess that he was probably throwing a bone to most of the state and big city municipal employees (e.g., police) and lawyers to avoid an uprising. There’s been a steady stream of migration from the northeast into Florida for a very long time, and those migrants head straight for government jobs within the first or second generation.
Is that the right thing to do? Never. Would that have been a good political strategic move under the circumstances? I don’t know. I’m not there.
Florida conservatives will know best what to do.
Consider roughly how many school teachers are in Florida, and that’s only school teachers. We have a political fight on our hands in all of the states. Around 40 million people receive their incomes from government, and many more are socially or chemically messed up.
From outside of Florida, it appears that Scott is trying to use effective political strategy including the incrementalism of the Democrats. I might be wrong, but that’s the way it looks from here.
But complain, yes! Write to Scott, and let him know what you think. But don’t let many voters think that he’s going to lose. Too many idiots out there will vote for the candidate who appears to be the likely winner, no matter how wrong.
