State government analysis says charity is out of compliance and the state is missing required docs....

[digger48]

Still obsessed with DeSantis, I see

[MtnClimber]

Not a good look in the era of corruption.

[kosciusko51]

The appearance of impropriety.

Money is a test of honesty few winners around now days.

[Harpotoo]

Oh how they ALL play the game!

[blackdog]

FNGO now means two things, yet the same.

Sniff, sniff..... there’s a foul odor in the air from Florida.

Absolutely. But it’s always the cover up that gets you, saw the press conference after the hearing. Not a good look. If DeSantis cares about this country he’d clear this up NOW!

Audit where the money went. If there’s a problem then there’s a problem, if there ain’t then there ain’t.

you see the difference here??...

It is assumed foul play between Desantis and his wife and it makes major headlines. On our side, there is Billions worth of fraud and we wait for "Concrete Evidence" before a single person is named...

smmfh...

[cgbg]

We know every Democrat member of Congress is corrupt.

If you want to name all of them go for it!

[sit-rep]

nice cop out...

[digger48]

Just showing your a** again

You’re obsessed with the man

And the reason I seldom come here anymore after 25 years

yup! somehow extra money paid, and, instead of doing proper with it, it just so happened to go to his wife’s supposed charity. interesting how that happens, and everyone’s just supposed to think its a magical “cherry on top”.

After living most of my life in a blue state with corrupt and incompetent governors, I love living in Florida with DeSantis as governor. On the other hand, it is my feeling that his wife is bad news. She may have been the person who pressed him to run for president which ended any future plans he may have had.

Now this.

[FLNittany]

If he can eliminate my property taxes - and I think he can - I don’t care what else he or his wife do.

I'm not going to denounce or defend until more information comes out but read this excerpt from the end of the article and ask yourself if it makes sense:

Casey DeSantis is not listed as an officer of the nonprofit, according to state records. Website records from the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, where nonprofits are required to report financial information, do not include any documents from the Hope Florida Foundation.
