Taxpayer Money Redirected for Politics | Jacksonville News

A Florida grand jury has accused Governor Ron DeSantis’ administration of misusing $10 million from a Medicaid settlement, funneled through nonprofits to a PAC run by his former chief of staff, now Attorney General James Uthmeier. Though the report confirms taxpayer money was diverted for political purposes, no one took direct responsibility for the initial transfer — leaving prosecutors unable to pursue charges. The jury emphasized Uthmeier’s role in directing funds and noted then-Attorney General Ashley Moody’s involvement in approving the settlement. Democrats are demanding accountability and reforms to prevent future abuses. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
