Protestors crash Gov. Rick Scott's fundraiser in Coral Gables

Protesters appeared in front of the Coral Gables home of Ralph Garcia-Toledo, who was holding a private fundraiser for Governor Scott and Lt. Governor Carlos Lopez-Cantera on Thursday night, according to the Miami Economic Sustainability Alliance, which organized the demonstration.

Garcia-Toledo is a local businessman who is active in Miami-Dade politics and has been a strong supporter of Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez.

“Hardworking Miami-Dade residents looking for good jobs, access to affordable healthcare and reliable pubic services can’t afford the required $3,000 minimum contribution to get into the fundraiser to talk to their Governor,” said Fred Frost, the group's vice president in a statement.

"We want to properly welcome the Governor to Miami-Dade County, a metropolitan region with one of the greatest wealth inequality gaps in the nation,” he added.
