Keep Governors/Lawmakers from Privatizing their Pockets with Taxpayer's Money
Support federal and state laws that will prevent governors and other law makers from owning outright or owning monied interests in the private businesses they are pushing to replace government agencies. Prevent them from receiving election support from any private business or any business or agency associated with any private business that has replaced a government agency.
Why is this important?
I am concerned about Republican Governors owning monied interests in private businesses they are pushing on the people of their state through laws and policies to replace government agencies. For example Rick Scott, Governor of Florida wants all state workers to take urine drug screens from a company that he owns monied interest in. Rick Scott, Govenor of Florida and Jan Brewer, Governor of Arizona also want to privatize prisons. This sets up corruption that is unimaginiable in that people who make laws about who goes to prison are also lining their pockets with taxpayer money supporting those prisons. Also, the more people that are in prison, the more money they make. Could this be why Jan Brewer is so intererested in placing illegal immigrants in prison? This is not free enterprise and this is not democracy. It is a very scarey type of facism and needs to be nipped in the bud now instead of later.
