QuoteRick Scott's sale of the state's planes may have violated Florida law, the Republican chairman of the Senate Budget Committee said in a letter to the governor Thursday.

Ironically, the letter comes from the legislator who has probably been most vocal that the state should sell the planes, Sen. JD Alexander, R-Lake Wales, who has pushed for the sale of the aircraft for five years. And in his letter, Alexander applauded his fellow Republican Scott for the idea.

"I support your goal, but not the method," Alexander wrote. "It is important that the proper procedures for accomplishing a goal we both support be followed."

I am sure that it was all documented in the lovely bid process known as DMS. If you can find the bids, you win the gold star of the day. DMS is a joke and should be consolidated with any of a dozen other agencies.
