Rick Scott Rejects Tying FHP Bonuses to No. of Tickets Written
Submitted by Kevin Derby on March 28, 2014 - 12:01pm
Gov. Rick Scott flatly rejected ideas for the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) to tie bonuses to police officers based on the number of tickets they write.

Floridians paying more in tickets is not a better outcome. Period, Scott added. If this idea comes across my desk, I will reject it.
