Scott hits sour note

Great piece by Carl Hiaasen on April 5, Song fuels misguided state probe.

It appears Gov. Rick Scott sent the FDLE after blogger Daniel Tilson for paraphrasing the song, Magical Mystery Tour, regarding Scott’s proposed tax changes that would save Floridians a whopping $43 per family. I was reminded of another paranoid politician who, in 1971, had a personal vendetta against John Lennon. The legacy of Richard Nixon and The Beatles lives on!
