Remember this when you go to the polls, Floridians. This diary pretty much writes itself. Most of Florida news stories do write themselves. This is exactly what the rest of America will looks like with a HRPIC.. Head Rich Psycho in Charge.
Florida was not among those states. It never applied, a Treasury spokesman said, even though it may have gotten $250 million. State officials did not say why they didn't seek the funds but pointed instead to a $78 million infusion of "Hardest Hit Funds," which the federal government gave to all qualified states.
Florida's missed opportunity has been criticized by U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Florida.
"The state's decision not to apply for this money is tragic for Florida homeowners who are fighting to keep their homes," he said last week.
The state group charged with distributing federal foreclosure-relief funds is Florida Housing Finance Corporation. Its board members are appointed by Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican who has been reticent to accept transportation and health-care funds from the Democratic-led presidential administration.
Rick Scott truly is an asshole. He loves Trump. He hates America and Florida.
