Message switch: 7 legislators who told Scott to withdraw now want him elected…

What a difference a month makes. Of the dozens of campaign co-chairs Republican Rick Scott touted in his press statement last night, seven of them were among a list of legislators who called on him just a month ago to release his “secret” testimony in the Solantic case or “withdraw from the race” because “you will become a liability.”

Scott continues to refuse to release the testimony.

“We ask that you release your deposition and all documents related to and concerning lawsuits against Solantic in order to provide the transparency the public wants and deserves,’” wrote Sen. Joe Negron, Reps. Clay Ford, Alan Hays, Dave Murzin, Scott Plakon, Trudi Williams and Ritch Workman on Aug. 10

“By keeping your involvement in this case shrouded in secrecy, you will become a major liability for Republican candidates on this year’s ballot if your campaign is successful. If you remain unwilling to release these materials and answer questions on these issues, we believe you should immediately withdraw from the race for the good of our party and the conservative cause in Florida.” — a letter sent to Scott from the legislators said.
