| Florida governor Rick Scott |
Florida governor Rick Scott provided some curious political acrobatics involving the Sunshine State's education system this week. For starters, he convened a three-day education summit. One might infer that the gov attended the gathering.
Au contraire. Governor Scott was a no-show to his own event.
However, according to the Miami Herald, he found time to arrange a get-together the day after the summit with none other than Jeb Bush.
Also attending the meeting were the state's Board of Education chairperson and a powerful state senator closely allied to Bush. The three-dozen Florida education leaders who participated in the summit were not invited. The governor's spokesperson had no details to add to the story; Scott's schedule simply indicated "Miami FL."
Did anyone say "transparency?"
