Florida Gov. Rick Scott mistakenly sent constituents seeking information on a deadly fungal meningitis outbreak to a sex hot line.
The governor was at a Florida Cabinet meeting on Tuesday when he gave out the toll-free hotline’s 866 number. However, he mistakenly mixed up the numbers, according to WUSF News.
The public radio station in Tampa, Florida posted the number online. A reader later notified the news station that the number was directing callers to a very different service–a sex hotline.
“Hello boys, thank you for calling me on my anniversary,” a woman’s voice says according to reports.
A spokesperson for Scott said he inadvertently — and briefly — released the wrong number, and then corrected it by providing the number for the Florida Fungal Meningitis Hotline.
