TAMPA, Fla. – Today, Team Rick Scott released the following statement ahead of a press conference Debbie Mucarsel-Powell is planning to join on the state proposal on whether to build golf courses and hotels at state parks. Last week, Senator Scott and his colleagues demanded that the state ensure Floridians voices are heard in this decision.

Team Rick Scott Spokesperson Will Hampson: “Only a partisan hack would try to launch a political attack on one of the few issues we actually agree on. We are glad Debbie agrees with Senator Scott that the Florida Department of Environmental Protection must listen to Floridians, ensure their voices are heard, and make decisions accordingly. Senator Scott was proud to work with Senator Rubio, Representative Mast and his colleagues to urge the state to allow a more substantial public comment period, and we’re glad they listened. We’re also glad to see Debbie join the fight and make a rare trip outside of Miami – but we’re not sure she has the capability to do anything more than be a partisan hack.”
