Scott Says “No” to Bonuses Tied to Ticket Production

Following our story on Wednesday (see below), Governor Rick Scott on Friday issued a release rejecting the idea of tying trooper bonuses to citations written.  Here’s the release:

Governor Rick Scott: Tying FHP Officer Bonuses to Ticket Quotas is Outrageous and Wrong

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Governor Rick Scott today released the following statement about news outlets reporting the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles is considering tying their employee bonuses to the number of tickets they issue to motorists:

“The idea that FHP would tie officer bonuses to the number of tickets they write is absolutely outrageous and wrong. All state worker bonuses should be based on better – not worse – outcomes for the people of Florida who pay the taxes to fund state government.

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