TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The finances of Florida Gov. Rick Scott, a wealthy multimillionaire, are coming under renewed scrutiny just weeks before his bid for re-election.
George Sheldon, a Democrat running for attorney general, filed a lawsuit on Wednesday contending that Scott may have underreported his actual wealth by as much as $200 million. The lawsuit, which Scott’s campaign derided as “mudslinging,” asks a judge to declare that Scott is breaking the state’s financial disclosure law.
