NEW: Ron DeSantis’ administration took millions in taxpayer dollars intended to assist needy Floridians, including children, to defeat last year’s marijuana and abortion amendments.
His officials bent state procurement laws in the process.

Estoy tan emocionada de trabajar con @ValenPalmB y @AMarranara en esta historia importante para los lectores de @pbpost.

The insurer mentioned, Heritage, is a major donor to Florida politicians — they were a sponsor of DeSantis' reelection inauguration.
Its lobbyist is close to @JimmyPatronis, whose office investigated this alleged fraud.
Patronis was also against the state fining Heritage $1m.
Tonight’s @60Minutes report on the systemic fraud committed by insurance companies in Florida is infuriating for several reasons. Beyond the fraud itself - which is spectacular- you have to ask why isn’t @GovRonDeSantis and @AGAshleyMoody doing something - anything - about it?

If you want to understand how the housing shortage went from a mostly coastal issue to a full-blown crisis and the nation's biggest economic problem, take a trip to Kalamazoo. My story: nytimes.com/2024/08/22/busin…

Student journalism: In his 17 months as UF president, Ben Sasse more than tripled his office’s spending, directing millions in university funds into secretive consulting contracts, high-paying positions for his GOP allies. @garrettshanley @TheAlligator alligator.org/article/2024/0…
Broward School Board member suggests reporter @smtravis is breaking the law by interviewing board members about an upcoming vote 🤦♂️
In happy to report @browardschools general counsel concluded my reporting isn’t criminal. 5 board members told @SunSentinel how they might vote in Jessica Norton case. @DanFoganholi asked Tue whether I was acting as a “conduit” to board members to circumvent Sunshine Law. 1 of 4

47 reporters with hundreds of years of combined experience have left our newsroom in the last four years. Few have been replaced.
Meanwhile, @Gannett drags its feet at the bargaining table and delays a fair contract for those of us still here.
Andrew Marra retweeted
1/ The Palm Beach Post and Daily News newsrooms have lost more than 45 employees since we unionized in 2020. Many of those folks have not been replaced.

While CEO Mike Reed got a raise last year, Gannett’s last salary offer to our newsroom staff at the bargaining table included a *lower pay scale* than we have now.
Andrew Marra retweeted
Not-so-friendly reminder that @Gannett proposed a pay scale that starts at $40K for new employees and goes up to $50K... after TEN years of service to the company.
This is why we're fighting for better. We have to.

My colleague @JustinGarciaFL wanted some public records when he showed up to @TampaFireRescue.
They called the cops on him.
90 minutes later, they handed over the records.
