... The practice raises ethical and legal questions about state employees trying to raise campaign cash from lobbyists who have business currently before the governor. ...

How long has Gov DeSantis been a political figure in Florida?

It's illegal, but it doesn't surprise me at all. It seems that most Republicans are crooks or are turning into crooks. They like to win the easy way.

Are there any Republican Presidential Hopefuls who are NOT Poster Boys for The Moral Decay of America?

Republicans prefer criminals without ethics.

Just look at who they've been electing since 2016.

All criminals without ethics.

In a normal state this would end a politician. Using your staff to generate cash? What forced popularity! He is a rich guy's kid who knows nothing even though he went to school. Sound familiar?

"Norms" is one thing, illegal is something else, entirely. And, it being Florida, what everyone else would consider gross corruption is just business as usual, falling between legal cracks. Or will be, as soon as the GOP "fixes" things.
