Summary
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ administration redirected part of a settlement to a state-affiliated charity overseen by his wife, sending $10 million in state settlement money to Casey DeSantis’ Hope Florida charity, which was not publicly disclosed at the time.
The Herald reported “$10 million went to Hope Florida,” instead of returning to “state and federal coffers.”
The $10 million were then distributed to two nonprofits that are not required to disclose how they spend their funds, the outlet detailed. These groups later transferred $8.5 million to a political committee tied to DeSantis’ then Chief of Staff James Uthmeier, now the state attorney general.
Rep. Alex Andrade said, “this was Medicaid money that was squandered,” while DeSantis’ office claimed the “settlement was a great benefit to the state.”
Florida used Rick Scott’s (i think it was him) wife’s lab to test welfare recipients. Florida is a gop testing ground.
Then they complain that Medicaid is wasteful “look how wasteful it is!”
It’s the Republican mo. Become the problem you complained about to prove your complaint is legitimate.
A metaphysical embodiment of petulance.
That seems, I don’t know, incredibly illegal.
Every republican politician is a criminal.
Imo every cop and politician is corrupt and a criminal until proven otherwise
I think it’s best to think of them as guilty until proven innocent.
Or more accurately, he embezxled $10 million and funneled it through a slush fund.
Your misspelling makes this better somehow, love it.
It’s the gender-neutral spelling.
Pretty sure that’s called embezzlement. Def misappropriation of funds
Ron DeSantis endorsed a felon and convicted sexual predator for president, January 21st, 2024.
DeSantis is a sack of shit and I hope he gets flushed down a toilet.
It’s all about the grift, baby.
