Welcome to

Governor Rick Scott is trying to sell his family’s 60 million dollar share in the urgent care chain Solantic. Scott co-founded the company in 2001.

Before he became governor he transferred his Solantic ownership to his wife. Since then he’s been pushing policy changes that could benefit Solantic and therefore his wife’s holdings. Scott has contended all along that there is no conflict of interest. Today he told reporters he’s selling the stock.

Critics say Scott’s plans to drug test welfare recipients and state workers would benefit the health care company. Last week Solantic told reporters they wouldn’t contract with the state. The company may be singing a new tune if the Scott stock is sold.
