ORLANDO, FL — Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s visit to an Orlando-area Walmart to promote the state’s back-to-school tax holiday today was met with a handful of hecklers and protesters, who shouted questions about his attention to education and job creation.

Scott’s promotion of the popular money-saving event included a stop at the retail chain to buy school supplies and donate them to three area schools.

During the visit, protesters wearing PinkSlipRick.com T-shirts walked near the governor as he browsed the aisles purchasing items. The group was created by Florida Watch, a progressive advocacy organization that has criticized the governor.

One member of the group flashed a leaflet in front of Scott as he walked by. They also handed out pink sheets of paper, representing termination slips, to several other spectators.

The leaflet claimed that more than 300,000 jobs had been lost under Scott and asked voters to “Give Rick his pink slip.”
