This says that Porter has violated this law: Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. Contributions to political campaign funds or public statements of position (verbal or written) made on behalf of the organization in favor of or in opposition to any candidate for public office clearly violate the prohibition against political campaign activity. Violating this prohibition may result in denial or revocation of tax-exempt status and the imposition of certain excise taxes.

You know you’re on to something when the local Progressively-Marxist plebes are directed to jump on the site and attack the messenger for exposing their devious plans. LMAO at these mania levels clowns.

Keep up the good work, Steve and TR.

@Steve Stewart
You stated: “If you know of another local elected politician that has had travel expenses paid for by a person or group with an interest in local government business and has not properly disclosed these expenses please send me the info.”

That appears to be an accusation you are making against Porter. However, your “attack pieces” don’t mention who you think paid for part of her trip. Where’s YOUR evidence to add credibility to your very public accusation? You ask for mine about other politicians but don’t show us evidence of yours. I’ll show you mine if you show me yours first.

@ DeepStatePropagandist… Don’t be too hard on yourself, sweetie. I’m sure you’ll convince someone somewhere.

“If you know of another local elected politician that has had travel expenses paid for by a person or group with an interest in local government business and has not properly disclosed these expenses please send me the info. I will right another “attack” piece. Thank You Steve Stewart.”

Ooof. They have grammar check software nowadays, you know? Maybe you turned it off because you thought it was Marxist or something?

@Edward Lyle –

“Sounds a lot like today’s Progressively-Marxist Democrat Party platform to me, aye sport?”

No. It really doesn’t. Can you point me to anywhere wherein the Democratic party is pushing legislation to provide for the state ownership of the means of production? I’d love to see your evidence!

@Concerned Citizen:

“I am sure the Tallahassee Democrat will provide the type of cover up for local politicians you would prefer. ”

It’s more like it doesn’t matter; as long as Richardson and Whats-Her-Name and Daily are on the commission, it wouldn’t matter if the Pope paid Porter to goto the Moon to harvest Moon Money; they’ll never be able to do anything except get voted down 3-2 on any issue of substance.

” This place may provide the ONLY service for those of us who ask more questions than “What did you eat at Amelia Island, councilperson?””

Did anyone actually ask that question though?

” I enjoy politicians being asked who is funding them. ”

I’m sure you were outraged when the Florida legislature passed a bill specifically excluding that data from freedom of information requests when DeSantis was flying all over the place to achieve his Participant ribbon in the Presidential primary, right?

Feel free to sit in the dark though if you prefer. I enjoy politicians being asked who is funding them. It seems, I don’t know the word for it, but maybe Journalism?

Instead of: ” The group states “We need an economy that works for the people.” how about you just go to work and support the economy. The Audacity of today’s liberal youth believing the world owes them something is stunningly stupid. All the flowery words used by liberals are only euphemisms for wanting more free stuff paid for the taxpayers.
