Thank you for this tremendous service to inform voters of the corruption that is happening. It is truly appreciated. Now do Vern Buchanan.

Hi Eddie, thanks for reading and commenting! My focus has been on our county and city elections because there is so little information about what’s going on. Who knows? Maybe I’ll wind my focus in the future. I agree that this kind of transparency is needed at every level.

Thank you Jeff! Thank you for reading. It's very sad to see what Florida campaign finance has become. I'm hopeful that we can turn this around. It requires an all hands on deck effort! :)

Also, I wish your title had been “EXPOSING the Friends of Teresa Mast”. When I glanced at the original newsletter title, I almost deleted the email!

Your PAC inflow diagram is incredibly helpful. Thanks for helping expose this complicated spiders’s web. Is anyone making progress to reform Florida’s campaign finance ethics laws?

I’m not aware of a coordinated effort to change Florida campaign finance rules. I think part of the problem is also enforcement. I don’t think this state actually enforces the rules that are on the books. We do need change and that will have to come from citizens demanding change. In the meantime, we can take a close look at who is running and how they are finance and vote accordingly..
