Florida Newspaper Slams Marco Rubio For Ripping Taxpayers Off and Demands He Resign
In a blistering editorial, The Sun Sentinel blasted Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) for ripping off the taxpayers by taking his salary and not showing up for work and told Rubio that if he hates being a Senator, he needs to resign from office.
The editorial board wrote in part:
Sorry, senator, but Floridians sent you to Washington to do a job. We’ve got serious problems with clogged highways, eroding beaches, flat Social Security checks and people who want to shut down the government.
If you hate your job, senator, follow the honorable lead of House Speaker John Boehner and resign it.
Let us elect someone who wants to be there and earn an honest dollar for an honest day’s work. Don’t leave us without one of our two representatives in the Senate for the next 15 months or so.
You are paid $174,000 per year to represent us, to fight for us, to solve our problems. Plus you take a $10,000 federal subsidy — declined by some in the Senate — to participate in one of the Obamacare health plans, though you are a big critic of Obamacare.
