Tallahassee, FL, United States (AHN) – Florida Gov.-elect Rick Scott announced members of his transition team on Thursday, nine weeks before he takes the oath as the state’s 45th chief executive.

Scott appointed longtime aide Enu Mainigi as head of his transition committee. Manigi is a 1994 Harvard Law graduate and partner at D.C.-based law firm Williams & Connolly that focuses on healthcare cases. Mary Anne Carter, executive director of a group Scott founded, Conservatives for Patients Rights, will serve as executive director of the team.

Members of the committee are: state Sen. Paula Dockery, state Rep. Bill Galvano, former Lt. Gov. Toni Jennings and U.S. Sen. George Lemieux, who was appointed to his seat last year as a placeholder by Scott’s soon-to-be predecessor, Gov. Charlie Crist.

Also part of the transition panel are Sally Bradshaw, who was chief of staff to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, former Miami mayor Maurice Ferre, Sweetwater Mayor Manuel Marono, and state Rep. Mike Weinstein.

Kathleen Shanahan, a member of the state Board of Education and another former Jeb Bush chief of staff, is likewise part of the commitee.

Scott is also recruiting constituents to join his administration. His office said in a statement it was looking for “hardworking people committed to the goal of more jobs and less government, people who are naturally optimistic, energetic, and have integrity.”

Scott won the gubernatorial race against Democrat and former Florida Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink by more than 1 percent of all votes and after spending $73 million of his own wealth for his campaign. He was chief executive of Columbia/HCA, a company that pleaded guilty in 2001 to Medicare fraud and paid $1.7 billion in fines in the nation’s largest fraud settlement.

He founded Conservatives for Patients Rights in 2009. The group, which is affiliated with the Tea Party, actively supported town halls in opposition to the Obama administration’s healthcare reform bill.

Financial Aid Loans for College Students

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

For the majority of young people, it is a dream to get into a great college. They want to do this as an accomplishment for themselves, as well as a way to make a living as an adult. The problem that many students face though, is the inability to get student loans. This is where private loans for students come into play. Because they are designed for students, you will not have to worry about having a bad credit score, or no credit whatsoever. For many students, this is the first type of loan they are getting, so their credit score is not even a factor.

The great thing about these private loans that students use is that they can use them for anything school related. If your actual schooling already is paid for but you are lacking the funds for everything else, you can use these loans. They can pay for your room and board or even just for your books and supplies. In the past, most students had to work long hours at little pay to afford to pay for all these things. All that work usually got in the way of their school work, which causes a big problem. With the loans, you do not have to worry about work getting in the way of school.

Another reason why private loans for students is a good idea is because it is a great way to establish credit. You will be getting the money that you need, so that is good. But you also will be paying back your loan, which means that your credit score will increase. Getting this type of loan as a student actually makes it easier to get a larger loan in the future because you have a good credit score established.

You should not put off going to school because you cannot afford it. If you do not qualify for the larger loans, consider taking out private loans for students. They will get you the money that you need to pay for school, which in turn will help get you a better job upon graduation. The better your education, the better job you will be able to get, which will mean that you will be making more money. All this is possible because you got out a loan to help you when you were in college.
