I've said before that the GOPer privatizing agenda now going gung ho in states that elected Rabid Right governors is happening hand in hand with corruption. Here are but two recent examples.
Governor Rick Scott of Florida is unabashedly and unashamedly pushing for a state law requiring welfare applicants to undergo drug tests at their own expense. Scott has already mandated drug testing for state employees. Governor Rick Scott is the co-founder of a company that's business is chiefly drug testing.
In Michigan, the law that allows the governor to appoint someone to manage any town in the state and ignore elected officials has been applied to the town represented by the GOPer legislator who sponsored this bill, and who "was" prominently involved in an effort to develop public and private land in this largely black and quite poor, former industrial town, for a high-end residential project surrounding a golf course. He was unable to persuade the elected officials of this town to go along with it. Now he won't have to. (Rachel Maddow reported this on Monday.)
