DeSantis and Florida GOP look to upend public record laws as they attempt to shield his travel and other records ahead of likely White House bid

[onthedarkside]

 

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his GOP allies have moved to shield the Republican leader from the state’s notoriously robust public records laws as he prepares to launch a campaign for the White House.

 

One bill advancing through the Republican-controlled state legislature would conceal information about DeSantis’ travel and who he has met with at the governor’s mansion.

 

Another would allow state political committees – like the one where DeSantis has stashed $85 million for his future political ambitions – to report their fundraising activity less frequently.

I hope they're successful. 

 

I think they're trying to pass a bill that will allow him to remain governor in the event he runs and loses.

Awfully slimey sneaky nefarious comes to mind obviously not on the up and up what are you trying to hide Ronnie?

From school books to public records, the censorship continues..............

 

"Separately, DeSantis in court cases has lately claimed “executive privilege” to block the release of records and to keep staff from testifying – a power typically reserved for presidents"

Big flashing sign - “Look here, this is where the dirt is”.

Is it a requirement that he should resign as Governor if he intends to run for President?

Documents and records will be easy to find. Just look for the pudding prints.

 

Watch the Trump PAC ad at your own peril. You cannot unsee it.

I think it may have been, but the compliant Florida legislature is addressing this, so no worries.
