Scott puts name on signs

[DrDan]

Gov. Rick Scott has defended spending $8,800 to put his name on highway signs welcoming travelers to Florida.

The multimillionaire Republican is going through the state budget line by line looking for spending items to veto so he can save money for taxpaers.

But at a news conference Tuesday he said the signs are just fine.

Scott, who was elected in Nobember, said the signs "look nice" and come with the job.

What an ego. And this at a time teachers are being released because of the budget. But his name on the signs is "just fine" at a cost of nearly $9K.
