Well Desantis pulled the plug calling some of the plans half baked and not well thought out.

Everyone back to the ThinkTank

 

NBC finally catching up

Ron DeSantis is in hot water for a plan involving Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus to put golf courses in state parks (msn.com)
A proposal to put golf courses in a Florida state park — which has landed Gov. Ron DeSantis in hot water politically — involved two of the biggest names in professional golf history: Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus.

The proposal to build courses at Jonathan Dickinson State Park in Southeast Florida is now put on hold after bipartisan pushback and protests across the state. But had the idea received state approval, and both Woods and Nicklaus would have been involved in course-design work.

 

Parks employee, James Gaddis, terminated last Friday for the leak.

That's not exactly retaliation for speaking out against the government, but it's close.

 

There will never be investigative journalism on trial lawyers. There is too much money in ad revenue.

 

Best decision he ever made. Already has more than a year of his salary in a gofundme.

Now, less than a day later, he's got about 2 year's salary in the gofundme. This guy Gaddis prevented DeSantis from slopping his pigs at the trough. He better be watch out. I'd move to a different state if I were him.

 

It was $22k this morning when I first posted and now at almost $99,000.

 

The Go Fund Me has hit over $120,000 with 3000+ people donating.

 

As expected, POS DeSantis is going after Gaddis by releasing his personnel records.

The documents were provided to a Gainesville TV news station, WCJB, which reported that they came from the DeSantis administration — specifically an unnamed source inside the Agency for Health Care Administration.

That agency provided those records without being asked, an unusual step for an administration that typically takes months, even years, to provide public records when journalists request them, if the state turns them over at all. For instance, the Tampa Bay Times requested an unrelated personnel file from the Agency for Health Care Administration in May 2023. The agency has not yet produced it. The Times asked for a copy of any public records request made by WCJB that prompted the release of these documents, and an Agency for Health Care Administration spokesperson, who did not provide their name, said in an email that no such record exists.

This is just wrong. Hope the person that released these and his boss and his boss’s all get sued personally (no state defense lawyers involved).

 

It is an attempt to discredit Gaddis' whistleblower actions by dredging up past history in another agency.

Regardless of what's in the personnel file, DeSantis & Co. should realize that all State actions are now under public scrutiny.

 

DeSantis is such a petulant child.

 

The GoFundMe for Gaddis has reached $245k with more than 6300 nationwide donors.
Not a good look for DeSantis and Florida [so what else is new?]

 

without him, Desantis would be bulldozing state parks for his buddies hotels. It shouldn’t have come to that.

 

It was broken when the CEO of a hospital chain who was fined a record amount for fraudulent billing practices was elected governor twice. It's ok though because he has since moved on up....

A bit off topic but the system has been broken for a while now.
