Bill McCollum, he owes he owes, so off to special favors he goes.

Six months ago, things were looking good for Florida’s Attorney General, Bill McCollum to be Florida’s next Governor. A lot has changed since then and now Bill is looking at the possibility of retirement. This outsider with deep pockets jumped into the race in a self funded campaign, businessman Rick Scott. When Rick first announced in April of 2010, he was running positive introductions across the airwaves until the McCollum insiders noticed that Bill now has a formidable challenger.
All was about to change in his bid for Governor. Bill’s heavily financed campaign from Tallahassee’s political inside crowd was being threatened by an outsider that will clean up the corruption throughout the state. Now Bill was encouraging his big money supporters to funnel money into 527’s, agencies that intentionally put a negative attack spin on opposing candidates.
Names like TECO, FPL, Progress Energy and other s with a vested interest in having the door open to the Governors office were pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into these 527’s. Who could blame them, there was a lot at stake including the possibility that if Scott is the next Governor, they might have to justify raising their rates instead of the “automatic” increase every time they take our elected officials out to lunch.
Then there is the multi billion dollar deal that RINO Charlie Crist struck with US Sugar. Rick Scott signed a pledge that the taxpayers will not be stuck with this insider deal. Fact is, McCollum owe them a big favor. U.S. Sugar handed $680,000 over to Bill McCollum for his campaign. And that’s just the money we know about.
The list goes on, a vote for McCollum is a vote for more of the same insider actions, increased fees and taxes and continued job loss. Support Rick and “Let’s get to work”.
