Scott is compensated for the 40 days between Jan-April that he dedicates to serving the citizens of Georgia. I think the walk is a great idea and at the end of it he will have in depth knowledge of the problems of this state and hands on knowledge learned from spending time with the citizens of the state.

Only someone on the govt payroll could afford a stunt like this, and only a politician would think that it's ok to waste the taxpayers' money on furthering his own personal political ambition. Unless, of course, Scott is taking time off without pay. Are you, Mr Scott? This would be funny if it were not such a serious waste of time, assuming that he is actually walking.
