This is political overreach. That the governor can grab a significant part of a legal settlement for his wife's pet project/slush fund is disturbing and a stain on Governor and Mrs. DeSantis.

“Hope”” she can get elected as Governor is more like it.

The governor insists 30,000 people have been weaned off public assistance by Hope Florida navigators stationed around the state.

If true, then $10 million ÷ 30K = $333 per person to wean them off of public assistance. Whatever anyone thinks about pot or the fact that his wife was running the program, a $333 per person cost to get them off of public assistance from then on sounds like good stewardship to me.

how many settlements have been paid to political purposes by the dems.

I think this is a good think and I hope laws are passed to stop this.

“his wife’s pet project/slush fund is disturbing and a stain on Governor and Mrs. DeSantis.”

Pet project, yes. Now go prove to me that this is a slush fund.

A slush fund is a pool of money set aside for discretionary or unofficial purposes, often with little oversight or accountability. It’s typically used for expenses that may not be fully transparent, such as political campaigns, personal perks, or under-the-table deals. The term comes from 19th-century naval slang, where “slush” referred to leftover fat sold by ship cooks, with the proceeds forming a fund for small, unregulated purchases. In modern contexts, it often carries a negative connotation, implying misuse or shady financial practices, like when a company or politician uses one to cover questionable expenses without public scrutiny.
