Politics' addiction to unlimited sums of money from unknown donors must end | Editorial

The Florida Legislature this year prohibited out-of-state contributions greater than $3,000 to the petition-gathering stages of constitutional initiative campaigns. It's as unconstitutional as when they tried something similar last year, and once again, they have of course allowed themselves to continue taking in unlimited donations.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A young Republican political operative who is also the subject of a public corruption investigation into former Republican state Sen. Frank Artiles made an offer to a recent college graduate last September: He would pay her $1,500 to chair a political committee and in exchange, she would have to do nothing.
At the time, 25-year-old Hailey DeFilippis, of Palm Harbor, had just found out she was pregnant and was “freaking out about money.”

TALLAHASSEE — A young Republican political operative who is also the subject of a public corruption investigation into former Republican state Sen. Frank Artiles made an offer to a recent college graduate last September: He would pay her $1,500 to chair a political committee and in exchange, she would have to do nothing.
At the time, 25-year-old Hailey DeFilippis, of Palm Harbor, had just found out she was pregnant and was “freaking out about money.”
So, she took up Alex Alvarado on the offer. And put her name down as chair of The Truth, a dark money-funded political committee that spent $180,000 on political mail advertisements promoting sham candidates in key 2020 state Senate elections — two in Miami-Dade and one in Central Florida.

Sunburn — The morning read of what's hot in Florida politics — 3.22.21


Sunburn — The morning read of what’s hot in Florida politics — 3.22.21
Here's your AM rundown of people, politics and policy in the Sunshine State.
With the state government firmly in Republican control since the last century, Florida policymakers have been extremely friendly to free-market principles.
At the same time, local governments decry the trend of state lawmakers passing so-called preemption bills, which the locals believe step on cherished home-rule principles of local democracy.
That’s why it’s particularly shocking that some local governments in the Panhandle are sticking it to local builders — and, ultimately, to the homeowners, these governments are supposed to serve.
