Rick Scott's attorney admits mistake to court

[William769]

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Gov. Rick Scott's attorney has told the Florida Supreme Court that he was wrong about the money already spent on the state's high-speed rail project while defending the governor's right to kill it.

Scott's general counsel, Charles Trippe, sent Chief Justice Charles Canady, a letter Thursday. He acknowledged that he gave inaccurate figures during oral arguments last month supporting the governor's rejection of $2.4 billion in federal funds for the project linking Tampa with Orlando.

Trippe attributed the inaccurate information to a miscommunication with the Florida Department of Transportation.

1. Another case of "not intended to be a factural statement"

Once they discovered that a lie told enough times is hard to disprove, they now base decisions and legislation on lies.
I have the sense that the conservative fringe have no sense of right and wrong, let alone a sense of shame once proven guilty.

2. You know

"Not intended to be a factual statement" could become a very useful slogan for Democrats.
Use it in describing what ever lies spill forth from their lying pie holes.
