The out in the open CORRUPTION of Ron DeSantis takes your breath away
“Late last year, a regulatory board in Tallahassee appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis gave Florida Power & Light permission to raise electricity rates by roughly $7 billion over the next four years — a record-setting rate hike that allows the monopoly power company to pocket the 🚩🚩highest profit margin in the country outside of Alaska.
A month later, FPL’s parent corporation gave Ron DeSantis a quarter of a million dollars.💰💰💸
The $250,000 donation from an affiliate of NextEra Energy Inc. didn’t go directly to the governor. It was instead channeled through “Restore Our Nation,” a federal political action committee that was established during DeSantis’ ill-fated 2024 presidential campaign.
DeSantis strategists have since retooled the super PAC and have been using it to attack Republican lawmakers who cross the governor, undermine an investigation into the Hope Florida money-launderingscandal, and hawk “Alligator Alcatraz” merch”
Florida Power & Light isn’t the only big donor with business before the DeSantis administration that has been pumping money into “RON PAC.”
In October, for instance, federal records show that the Mosaic Co., the phosphate mining and fertilizer manufacturing giant, gave a $50,000 gift to the DeSantis PAC.
The donation came the week after a bill was filed in the Florida Legislature 🚩🚩🚩that would make it harder to sue Mosaic over ⚠️☠️☠️radioactive contamination left behind on former phosphate mines.
That mining liability legislation — which records obtained by Seeking Rents show 🚩🚩was originally written by lobbyists for Mosaic — passed the GOP-controlled Legislature last month.
Which means Ron DeSantis must now decide whether to sign or veto it”
💰💰And in December, the DeSantis super PAC took $100,000 from the real-estate investor behind the so-called “Blue Ribbon Projects” bill — an unprecedented piece of legislation that🚩🚩🚩🚩 would have enabled owners of giant tracts of rural land to build city-sized developments 🚩🚩🚩without any meaningful input from the people who live in the surrounding community or their local elected officials.
The $100,000 donation came from Jax-Palatka Farms LLC, an obscure company that showered hundreds of thousands of dollars on Florida politicians just before the start of the Legislature’s 2026 session”
