Greer: We’ll show you the real Alex Sink

by Michael C. Bender | May 13th, 2009

From Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer reacting to Democrat Alex Sink’s announcement:

“I welcome former banker Alex Sink to the Governor’s race. After years of smoke in mirrors, it is about time for Floridians to meet the real Alex Sink,” said Chairman Greer.

“Getting Florida’s economy back on track and creating jobs will be the number one task of Florida’s next Governor. On this front, Alex Sink has failed and will continue to fail,” continued Chairman Greer.

The real Alex Sink was paid millions of dollars while overseeing what the head of Atlanta’s Legal-Aid called “subprime predatory mortgage lending.”

*The real Alex Sink fired thousands of Floridianswhile earning her millions through these predatory lending practices.

*The real Alex Sink used the very same practices that well known economists have linked to the significant economic downturn that Florida is facing today.

*The real Alex Sink played the leading role in tanking Florida’s economy.

“The real Alex Sink played a leading role in tanking Florida’s economy,” concluded Chairman Greer. “Alex Sink has been enough of a hazard as Chief Financial Officer, and I don’t believe that the people of this great state will risk Alex Sink and her ‘troubled assets’ in the Governor’s Mansion.”

    As a former inspector for the My Safe Florida Home Program I can not begin to describe the waste and utter chaos in the program. Ms Sink was responsible for the oversight of the program. I give her an “F”. I witnessed first hand the waste, inefficiency and poor planning at the state level.
    People were hired in top place who knew NOTHING about construction. It did not take long to realize that most people were hired by nepotism rather than competency.
    Eight companies, WCES, made MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in this program. This money and much, much more was supposed to go to Florida home owners. Most money was eaten up by administration costs and waste.
    In a word….disgraceful and bush league.
    I would not vote for Ms Sink for dog catcher. She is totally out of her realm.
