RPOF Hits Charlie Crist for Raising Tuition

With Gov. Rick Scott launching a tour of Florida focusing on keeping higher education costs under control, he is getting some air support from the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF). On Monday, the RPOF unveiled a Web ad hitting former Gov. Charlie Crist, the favorite for the Democratic nomination, on a host of fronts including raising tuition.

"Charlie Crist continues to try and gloss over his failed record by saying that raising tuition and raising taxes was the right thing to do. We have news for Charlie - putting college out of reach and raising taxes on Floridians is never the right thing to do, said Leslie Dougher, the chairwoman of the RPOF. And continuing to support Obamacare, which has caused seniors to lose their doctors, will never be the right thing for Florida."
