Recall former Govenor Rick Scott and now Florida Senator

The Issue

 

Is it not enough that he spent 70 million dollars on a website geared towards making it impossible to collect a measly $275 In Florida unemployment INSURANCE but the system doesn’t even function. We the people are in a government declared health emergency and were essentially unemployed by the government in many forms. Ie. the closure of non essential business, school closures, or lack of consumerism. 

Our tax money went to this site! You aren’t out of work senator! WE are still paying you. Yes we pay you. FIRE RICK SCOTT!!!

He doesn’t care about you. All he cares about is numbers. 


TALLAHASSEE —“ Sen. Rick Scott wrote in a campaign fundraising email sent Thursday night that Americans thrown out of work because of the coronavirus pandemic would rather collect unemployment than go back to work.”

In the email, Scott railed against the $600-per-week unemployment benefits Congress allotted to out-of-work Americans, and he blamed Democrats for allowing it to go through. The benefits made up a part of a $2 trillion package called the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. It passed the U.S. Senate by a vote of 96-0 in late March.

He signed hallmark legislation requiring recipients to take a 45-question skills test and prove every week that they’ve sought work from five employers — more than in any other state. The law also cut the number of weeks people are eligible for unemployment assistance and made it easier for the state to deny benefits for “misconduct.” It also required recipients to file claims online and reapply every two weeks.
