Gillum doesn't look good-and its big government causing the problem
https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/...treet.html

This is also a problem in Atlanta, where there is a battle to give 2 billion(!) in subsidies to a developer for re-developing an area of downtown known as the Gulch. In Tallahassee, Gillums and other Tallahassee politicians have gotten black box contributions from a man who is getting heavily subsidized by the city.


"...The ultimate aim of the investigation – and any direct connection to Gillum – remains unclear, as does its connection to a separate, ongoing state ethics probe into Gillum’s relationship with donors. The latter includes an allegation Gillum accepted from an undercover agent a ticket to see "Hamilton" on Broadway.

Gillum denies any wrongdoing. His narrowly trailing Republican opponent in the Governor’s race, Ron DeSantis, Wednesday suggested impeaching Gillum over the ethics charges.

The FBI has asked the city and the state’s revenue department for records connected to dozens of Tallahassee businesses and their owners, including bids, tax reports, and emails, as well as documents related to financial transactions between the city and those entities. Many of the records sought are connected to economic development work by private companies and tax breaks and subsidies provided to them, primarily by the Community Redevelopment Agency. The city has turned over more than 200,000 records.

A recurrent name in them, along with Jennings Street, is local businessman J.T. Burnette, a major Gillum backer who in 2014 received $883,000 in city subsidies for developing a downtown hotel. He declined to comment for this story.

Burnette, in fact, has become a major political player supporting candidates of both parties – by taking advantage of what’s known as the LLC loophole. Florida is one of several states that allows limited liability corporations – even if they have the same ownership -- to contribute as separate individuals, permitting donors to give the maximum amount of $1,000 from each of their subsidiaries.

In all, 52 LLCs listing the Jennings Street address, many of which are run by Burnette, have donated to state and local campaigns...."

DeSantis is a poor candidate. Gillum is a collectivist/redistributionist government whore.

Republicans, I am counting on you to protect me from the collectivists/redistributionists who are now gaining control of the democrats. If DeSantis is your idea of how to protect me, then I'm going to give up on you, too.

Well he's lead probably a dozen polls. Gillum has lead in more. Doesn't change the fact that Gillum is the leader of a corrupt city.

Trumpsters labeling anything else corrupt is the height of hypocrisy. DeSantis making “monkey” comments and speaking at white nationalist sympathizing conferences may make him attractive to certain elements, but not the state as a whole. Good people will vote for Gillum.

How is Trump corrupt?

Please provide examples. I want facts - not anonymous sources.

Specifically, please. Not just what Rachel Madcow told you, either.

Gillum is a typical socialist - grab the cash and live by a different set of rules than those planned for the people...
