Florida Governor Rick Scott failed to report more than $200 million in assets on state financial disclosure records, according to a lawsuit filed on Wednesday by the Democratic nominee for state attorney general.

The complaint, which Scott’s campaign dismissed as political “mudslinging,” came days after two major state newspapers raised questions about Scott’s financial disclosures and a blind trust he created after his 2010 election.

Scott, a Republican, is locked in a tight race for re-election with Democrat Charlie Crist in an expensive and closely watched political battle in the country’s largest swing state.

George Sheldon, a lawyer running for state attorney general, alleged that Scott controlled a “complex web of investment vehicles,” including at least six trusts, and other accounts valued at $340 million, while his public financial report, filed with his re-election papers, showed a net worth of just over $132 million.

1. George Sheldon

I have seen George Sheldon in person a couple of times and I think he is the best qualified and most thoughtful candidate running for any office in the state. If George took this step I suspect that Rick Scott has a real problem.

2. Let's hope he'll find someone to investigate it.

Sometimes the law enforcement agencies shut down when these allegations come up right before an election. But it sure would help if there's truth to this.
