Rick Scott coddles BP

My apologies if this has already been posted. I just happened to come across then when reading about Scott issuing an executive order to slash spending for the needy.

As the Tribune's Rob Shaw found, Scott doesn't seem interested in pursuing legal action against BP for the damage caused Florida by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill last year.

Then-Gov. Charlie Crist appointed Tampa attorney Steve Yerrid to serve as a special counsel on the spill, directing him to develop a legal strategy that would enable Florida to recover some of its losses.

But Yerrid's tenure ended last year, and he has yet to hear from Scott.

So the money the state is rightfully due — which could be used to fund key state initiatives, including environmental programs Scott is neglecting — is left in BP's pockets.

to express the disgust one feels for these sub-humans
and the harm they are doing to this country
