Gunmaker Sig Sauer Inc. is lobbying Florida lawmakers for protection from lawsuits following claims that one of its guns keeps firing without anyone pulling the trigger.
Wyman "White Shoes" Duggan takes the $50K cake! “My policy has been since I first ran for office, if you can’t take the contribution and still tell them no, then you shouldn’t be in politics,” Duggan said.
I didn't see any Ds on the list of Sig campaign donation recipients -- small comfort, perhaps, that they can keep their skirts clean and avoid firearms graft.
One nasty rumor has Wyman angling for Jax mayor in Nov. 2027. What a menace!
They dont waste big contributions on Democrats because they know what little influence they have. Besides the richest republican legislators can be bought for peanuts, they are the worst for abusing campaign funds as if they are "expense. Accounts" because they have "normalized greedy cheating behaviors. Just because there is no oversight or enforcement on obvious PAC abuse, they think they are immune and invisible. This is no longer true. People are starting to pay attention
It is clear that the State of Florida needs to enact serious limitations on lobbying donations if we are to salvage any shreds of democracy that still remain. I am not betting the farm that it will happen.
This is when citizen actions and grassroots movements is critically important. There are 23 million of us. Dont ever believe we cant change "city hall," persistence, tenacity and commitment to bring back servants with morals and integrity is within our power.

Good shout out, especially for the people of Jacksonville.
Fucking nightmare.
Lemme go back & find that bill to make record requests easier, I have an email to write!
good on you. Gotta support The Cause. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem. Grrrl power. Lifelong South Floridian here - 1958.
It will never pass the Senate. The Senate is working to make it harder and more expensive. They have no choice. They have the most to hide
