Hi Jason! I adore your work and think it is so important. Would you have the time to point me to (or make one of your own) an explainer on how the Florida Chamber of Commerce funding works? Like, we have a local Chamber in our city (Boca Raton) but do they have a relationship with The Florida Chamber? Also, how do members set the policy or is it really just pay to play and the biggest funders (sugar, FPL, etc) set the agenda? Thanks!

Wait wait wait wait wait you’re saying that in order to get public records state agencies are making Floridians PAY to access these reports??? Or even sue???? Holy shit that’s not being in the sunshine that’s wrong

What happened (happening) in Florida didn't stay here. The consultants who are not from Florida need to listen !!!! to locals instead of imposing strategies from other states.

All the Dems need to do is listen and take action on that information. That's how to win. And, every county and district has it's own needs and wants too.

One more thing. If the Dems are the working people's party then stick together and force trump to do recess appointments - that would show the people who's side your on. Rolling over again and again in Washington and letting the republicans do whatever - didn't cut it this time - did it???
