Gov. Rick Scott Goes To Work As Park Ranger
July 20, 2012
Gov. Rick Scott spent his 11th “Let’s Get to Work” day working as a park ranger at Hillsborough River State Park Thursday.
His workday started about 7:30 a.m. on landscape maintenance and an archeological dig. Park staff routinely conducts archeological digs when new signs or structures are needed to ensure no cultural resources are damaged in the process.
Scott continued his workday by opening the ranger station and greeting visitors. Later, he checked on campers, ensuring guest safety by monitoring the pool area and working with a concessionaire to serve food and rent equipment to park visitors.
In the afternoon, Governor Scott conducted a tour for park guests of the Fort Foster Historic Site with park rangers. Fort Foster is the only standing replica of a Second Seminole War Fort in the United States. Then, acting as the Chief of Piece, Governor Scott participated in a cannon firing demonstration, giving the command to fire the cannon and assisted with guest safety measures.
“Florida State Parks offer residents and visitors opportunities to enjoy our beautiful surroundings, and our dedicated park employees keep our guests returning year after year,” said Governor Scott. “A healthy environment makes for a healthy economy, and I thank the Florida Park Service for their diligent work to protect and preserve our natural environment while providing excellent opportunities for people to get out and enjoy it.”

Also, How are public employees, i.e. school teachers, police officers, correctional officers, getting a free ride? Please explain that Bob, I was under the impression they worked and provided a service for the money they get.
Well Bob Hudson at least Rickdiculous can count on one vote,
Guess if he was a left wing liberal, why we could not praise him enough for getting in touch with the common person, Is that not the way it works? You go Scott , you have my vote next time! Quit whining, you don’t like your job, change it, Learn to do something else. Want a job, go learn a skill or craft and go where the work is. Your life, your job,it is totally up to you. Uncle Sam is broke.Free ride is over with.
Next, Scott should “go to work” as a correctional officer in a close management dorm at Santa Rosa CI!!
Mabe he’s trying to find a reality show theme when he’s fired. Fly that new jet he got on his trip to his healthcare meetings to scam Medicare/Medicade. Then Hillary I PLEED THE FIFTH IPLEED THE FIFTH.
Really! Why don’t he try be n a c o or cop? no he cant do tht because whn they do count @ prison they would lose a man & count lol
Ranger Rick.
If he’s trying to play some role of “Under Cover Boss”, he needs to come all the way down the ladder where the unappreciated laborer works. He needs to spend a day working as a garbage man. After all, all he’s pedaling is a pile of garbage. He shouldn’t need any training in that position.
How fitting.because he’s lost in the forest of un-reality. Thinking that poor & unemployed people can afford their own Medicare Insurance. and can just make jobs appear out of thin air.
What a political adventure. Just for the camera. Developing a brand. Fire Scott. He should be using that time figuring how to beat the poor people out of there money. Fire the guy.
How I wish he could “go to work” in one of our more challenging classrooms.
Ranger Rick. Come November.
