SLICK SCOTT STILL PROFITS

I recall that Gov. Rick Scott said he was going to sell his interest
in the drug-testing firm he owns so as not to have a conflict of
interest when mandating testing of state employees. Sounds reasonable.

Yet, a reasonable person could infer that he will still profit
handsomely because the sale price of the company will be increased to
recognize that a steady stream of revenue will be guaranteed.

So Scott will make all his profit up front and not have to wait for
that revenue stream to pay off.

Pretty slick, Mr. Governor. Too bad for you we are not all as stupid
as you would prefer.
