Let's Hope We Budgeted a Sign Scraper

In the ridiculous waste of tax dollars pot, we can now put Gov. Rick Scott's plan to plaster his own name on every "Welcome to Florida" sign which the state has at our borders. How can a fiscal conservative defend this expense?

Vie WDBO:

"I think they look nice," said Scott.

As long as they don't also plaster his evil grin on every painted orange graphic, he might be right.

As a whopping $8,800, this is hardly a camel-breaking straw, I recognize. But at a time when the governor is threatening to veto so much infrastructure spending with the capable to make better colleges, not to mention his ridiculous rejection of high-speed rail funding, this is just foolish vanity.

And no, the signs do not have a former governor's name on them now.

Let's just hope we have the budget to take his name off these signs in 2014, or sooner.
