Rick Scott Wins “Worst Governor Ever”

Gov. Rick Scott has officially been crowned Worst Governor Ever.

The Transport Workers Union of America found a way for people to vote for Scott again, as he beat out Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker for the high honor.

“After Worst Governor Ever election results are certified this week,
Governor Scott will soon be inaugurated as The Worst Governor Ever, live
in person, officially kicking off his term as America’s Worst Governor
Ever,” the election website says.

Scott took the lead in the election during the first few weeks of August and never looked back.

Scott’s email inbox apparently ran full during the voting process — as the election website
allowed voters to send an email to their governor of choice letting them know
they voted for them — so the emails were then sent to the
governor’s communications director, Brian Burgess.

Here’s what that email said:

Dear Gov. Rick Scott,

I just voted for you in the Worst Governor
Ever contest at www.worstgovernorever.com because of your blatant
disregard for the well being of middle-class people in Florida and your
attempts to weaken the rights and services that have made our society
strong.

I am fed up with being told that we can’t afford basic
things like education and transportation while the wealthy get handouts.
I’ve heard enough of the attacks on hard-working public employees who,
unlike the bankers and Wall Street investors, did nothing to hurt the
economy. Let’s not attack the teachers but build an education system
that works for everyone.

What we need are jobs, quality
healthcare, good education and solid retirement. That means funding
infrastructure and public programs and making sure people have a voice
at work and at the ballot box.

The people of Florida will hold
you accountable and we will make sure everyone understands the dire
impacts of your misguided policies.

Pop open the champagne, governor. You’ve been chosen as the Worst Governor Ever.
