Scott Attends GOP Gov's Meeting In Aspen

DENVER (CBSMiami) – Gov. Scott continues his summer travels in Aspen, Colorado where he's hobnobbing with his fellow Republican governors and wealthy donors.

Scott's office listed no itinerary while the governor is at the Republican Governors Association's annual summer meeting. The association is a political organization that helps elect Republican governors.

The organization gave $8.3 million in 2010 to the Republican Party of Florida, which contributed $5.2 million to Scott's campaign, according to the Center for Public Integrity.

The Aspen meeting will include panel discussions with titles such as "What's Working at the State Level?," which is slated to include New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

Scott has spent little time in Tallahassee during the past two weeks, with the exception of a meeting last Thursday night with some of the protesters who continue to camp outside his Capitol office.

Also, he attended services Sunday at Bible Based Church as part of his Statewide Day of Prayer for Unity in Florida. Scott told the Palm Beach Post on Tuesday that he expects to return to Tallahassee "probably next week sometime."
