should be "had"
desantis now had created an office within the Florida state government in support of casey's charity
Amid scrutiny by lawmakers into the Hope Florida Foundation, Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday the charity operated by his wife will add a liaison to every state college.
The liaisons will act as a point of contact between Florida's 28 state colleges and Hope Florida, training others on the philosophy and foundations of the foundation, DeSantis said when he made the announcement at a press conference at Pensacola State College.

Why does this have to basically set up a recruiting and propaganda office in every state college?
If the “charity” actually broke laws and are not jailed then this conservative admin is no better than BeijingBiden’s home state of Delaware.
Why are so many lawyers in politics, so ignorant of the law?
Mistakes = thinking they were Democrats. 😆
Are the people surrounding the Guv crooks or just giving bad advice ?
Christina Pushaw was on his staff, and she is about NWO Deep State as can be.
He might do well as a Guv, but I suspect the Deep State would love to have him in DC .
And this was the guy some of you thought was more “electable” than Trump?
I like DeSantis, I truly do, but this is the kind of amateur hour nonsense that shows he’s not remotely fit for the White House.
“Anti-RDS FReepers are happy today.”
I’m pro-RDS and I’m not happy either.
Well, there are levels of issues and punishment here.
If they truly were doing fraudlent things that’s potential criminal prosecution...
HOwever failing to have your bylaws in order, or keep notes of your meetings, etc.. those usually are fines etc.. not jail time. IE, no bylaws or failing to follow them, can be loss of tax exempt status for a non profit.. and can open up the individuals that are part of the organization for personal liability.
Its hard to think “fraud” when you hear about stuff like that, because, not having such things actually makes it EASIER to go after individuals for issue. So if someone is actively trying to be nefarious they are going to make sure they have those things in order, so they have a level of protection... government would have to PROVE they weren’t acting properly first, before they could pierce the veil that the bylaws/articles of incorporation provide etc.
So if this was an attempt at flagrant graft, which it may be, but if it was, it was beyond clumsy. I mean things like no meeting nots, no by laws, no filings, etc those are like 101 level things..
“mistakes were made”
The passive voice is the dead giveaway of someone who wants to avoid being held accountable for their actions.
Those were some of Bill Clinton’s favorite words after he got caught with his fingers in the cookie jar or whatever...
:-)
Nowhere is it written that crooks must be intelligent.
Too many charities start out with good intentions but without proper oversight eventually become scams.
desantis depends on those supporters to protect and white wash his reputation, and image, for him...
