Why do FL right wingers continue to spend money like it's on fire?

Accused of misspending, Orange elections chief wrote 224 checks for $4.3M last weekend

Amid scrutiny of his office’s spending, Orange County Supervisor of Elections Glen Gilzean spent $4.3 million over the weekend, making more than 200 transactions and leaving the office without the money for this week’s employee paychecks, Comptroller Phil Diamond said.

The total flummoxed Diamond, who first sounded an alarm at a Board of County Commissioners meeting last week after he learned Gilzean had cut an unauthorized $1.1 million check to a nonprofit. That brought the total of payments deemed improper by him and Mayor Jerry Demings to $5 million — and that was before the latest round of spending.

In the meeting last week, county leaders unanimously voted to freeze further payments to Gilzean’s office while Diamond investigated. In response, Gilzean warned that without further payments from the county, which provides his budget, he couldn’t meet his payroll. But then, Diamond said, he kept spending.

“He paid these checks while knowing full well that he is required to meet his employees’ approximately $250,000 payroll this week. Sadly, he irresponsibly chose not to prioritize his employees,” Diamond said in his news release late Monday.
