Staff with The St. Petersburg Times had this:
Democrats are blasting Gov. Rick Scott for spending his upcoming vacation in Montana instead of Florida, and using the occasion to criticize Scott for state tourism advertisements that they say amount to self-promotion.
The Times also posted this video of Scott discussing the trip:
Mike Lafferty jumped into the fray with this blog post on the OrlandoSentinel.com:
Not sure when the reporter got that quote, but what Rick Scott had to do this week was take a fishing vacation in Montana, a move that brought (surprise!) criticism from Democrats because he wasn’t vacationing in Florida. Especially after Scott appeared in a promotion video (watch it here) encouraging people to invite their friends and family to vacation in Florida. Apparently, at least to the state Democratic party, the video means Scott is no longer allowed to step foot outside of Florida for pleasure.
And, in case you missed it, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar (D) also made a trip back to the Big Sky state for a little fishing as well.
The Daily Interlake has this:
The two (Salazar and another Admin official) traveled with a small entourage to the Creston National Fish Hatchery, where they met with students from the Northwest Montana Native Youth Conservation Corps and Montana Conservation Corps.
From there, they went to Snappy Sport Senter in Evergreen, where Salazar paid $25 for a Montana fishing license.
