Scott Snubs Reporters at Mock Bill Signing

March 25th, 2011 by flanews

Governor Rick Scott signed the teacher tenure bill yesterday in Jacksonville, but he was looking for more publicity, so he held a mock signing today with lawmakers in Tallahassee.

His PR staff said he would answer three or four questions following the signing as long as the reporters promised to stay on topic� But Scott wasn�t in the mood.

Reporter: Governor, do you want to take a couple of questions?
Scott: Uh, no I don�t.
Reporter: That was less than three or four.�

After Scott snubbed the Capitol Press Corps, a spokesperson told reporters the governor was just too busy to talk� but apparently he wasn�t too busy to hold a fake bill signing a day after the real bill was signed.
