Seeking Rents is the Florida voters’ best friend. Always a deep dive.

And lest we forget that Uthmeier was the tool who solicited campaign contributions while being on the clock as Desantis aide. Excellent expose Jason - agree that you are Florida voters' best friend.

Uthmeier is just mini me of DeSantis, keep your eyes open

Uthmeier is bad bad news for Florida. Corrupt with Capital C

Awesome work, Jason! I've been reading a book called "The Gilded Age by Sean Dennis Cashman and learned about DeSantis's twin predecessors, like Boss Tweed of the Tweed Ring. Corruption repeats through history! "All the while, he had his associates appointed to key city and county posts, thus establishing a network of corruption that became known as the "Tweed ring." In 1860, Tweed opened a law office, despite not being a lawyer, and began receiving large payments from corporations for his "legal services" (which were in fact extortions hidden under the guise of the law). He was reaping vast sums of illegal cash by this time...In 1868, Tweed became grand sachem (leader) of Tammany Hall and was also elected to the New York State Senate, and in 1870 he and his cronies took control of the city treasury when they passed a new city charter that named them as the board of audit. In full force now, the Tweed ring began to financially drain the city of New York through faked leases, false vouchers, extravagantly padded bills and various other schemes set up and controlled by the ring" After looting the people, people started waking up to the PRESS's powerful work exposing these CORRUPT officials. Tweed died in prison.... DeSantis will do the same. https://www.biography.com/political-figures/boss-tweed. And that "Office of Faith and Community." what scam is DeSantis gonna run through there? Time to watch the movie HERETIC to see what he has in store for the "believers"

So are there any action items we can do for this? Against Uthmeier or DeSantis? Can we call his office and demand resignation? Start a letter campaign, etc?

Where is this case going to go? Pam Bondi? not likely. I am tired of Democrats losing and being left out. In Trump's world it is way worse. They won't even hear a "Hands Free Cell Phone" bill but they still keep entertaining outright nonsense that benefits builders, the wealthy and the well connected. So sick of it!!
