But he didn’t shake his concern over the lack of action in Congress to pass a Zika funding bill. Despite a full court appeal and push from many Florida leaders, he returned from D.C. empty handed.
“They have to figure out how to work this together, to get it done. I said I am disappointed in anybody that voted against the bill… we had a bill last week for $1.1 billion and Bill Nelson voted against it and that is disappointing,” shared Scott.
