Interesting — no, make that shocking — how major segments of the mainstream media are buying Gov. Rick Scott’s extreme makeover. From inviting the Tallahassee press corps in for Danish to issuing kinder-gentler official photos to doing gimmicky “work days.”
As if it were mostly a matter of a rookie needing some time to get his political sea legs.
As if abysmal popularity ratings and RNC concern for the 2012 Florida election aren’t driving this cosmetic overhaul. As if Scott is no longer arrogant and no longer more beholden to Tea Partiers and the Koch Brothers than to most Floridians.
But make-overs don’t mean do-overs. Just ask teachers. Or would-be workers and developers who could be prepping the I-4 corridor for rail. Or those most directly impacted by a growth-management charade. Or the League of Women voters.
