Governor Rick Scott's Robocalls Anger Constituents
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- We started hearing about the robocalls by Governor Rick Scott right after the budget passed in May.
Then a week later another call about wasteful spending, and the week after that the phone rang again.
"Hi, I'm Governor Rick Scott," the call begins.
For the past month, the calls have been coming to households all over the state, with Governor Scott touting his pre-recorded accomplishments.
"I'm calling to personally tell you about the state budget I signed," the call continues.
The Republican Party of Florida is funding the calls, which on average cost about two cents a piece. And while it won't disclose who the calls are targeting, a statement released says: "The party is committed to helping the Governor communicate his accomplishments directly to the voters of the state."
