They could very well have invested more.

I actually hope the project doesn't get derailed, like the first one, but there are some serious red flags over their involvement.
Rick Scott needs to be ass raped in prison daily. He is one of the most corrupt pieces of shit in this country. The only state governor more corrupt than him is Scott Walker and maybe the fat ass in NJ..
