FLORIDA NEWS
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed Chad Mizelle to serve on the Florida Elections Commission. Mizelle served numerous federal roles under former President Donald Trump. Mizelle is the chief legal officer of Affinity Partners, a Miami-headquartered global investment firm founded by Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, whom Trump placed in charge of brokering peace in the Middle East.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis likens southern border enforcement to the war against Al-Qaeda. He recalled that when in the Middle East, it was nearly impossible to determine if a fighting-aged male was a friend or foe. “So, you had to make a determination. Can you positively identify somebody as hostile through either hostile action or hostile intent? And then you do it the same way anyone would do that, even in the United States,” DeSantis added. “So, you will do that. We’ll be collecting intelligence.”
Florida Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson announced that $750,000 in green-infrastructure grant money is now available to local governments, nonprofits, schools and Native American tribes. The grants include funding for planting trees, swapping invasive trees for native species and current tree preservation.

The business man’s bank deemed him a bad risk and denied his loan. Yet the commission will give him all he wants of taxpayer money. Just another good F’n for the taxpayers. If it was a sure bet, the commission would have invested some of their own money.
$1.8 million to SOMO a source of significant campaign contributions to the Mayor, Richardson, and DWC… similar to the million dollars to the restaurant owner / former mayor’s lover… another day different characters but the same result. Perfect example of Enterprise Kickback AKA City Hall. This is why Tallahassee is an embarrassment riddled with crime. FBI, please, please save us from this. THESE ARE TAXPAYERS DOLLARS!! And Reese Goad, the city manager, says nothing….
Hopefully, FDLE will give this a proper investigation regarding the possible sunshine violation between Mayor DAILEY and Commissioner Curtis Richardson. Have Faith… FDLE is under the leadership of the Best Governor in America. There is Hope.
Looks terrible for Curtis. He probably dipped out to minimize risk because he’s the one up for election next year. On a plane during the meeting, avoiding the Sunshine conversation and shows up to vote? Odd.
So, Matlow calls Curtis a criminal, and Richardson doesn’t have the stones to show up and shut the old boy up? Maybe he is a criminal… either way its bad.
