.@FLSenate President @WiltonSimpson was just talking about fraud in the context of the state's unemployment payment woes.
Now worth noting that former @FloridaDBPR Secretary Jon Zachem is among those to have received an unemployment check he didn't ask for.
#FlaPol
@FLSenate @WiltonSimpson @FloridaDBPR Zachem, who now runs his own law firm, posted on Facebook recently he "spent 30 minutes on hold" with @FLDEO trying to correct the error of "money that wasn't needed or asked for."
He said he finally had to call the agency's inspector general.
#FlaPol
@FLSenate @WiltonSimpson @FloridaDBPR @FLDEO Zachem said he then "got a resolution in about 5 minutes," saying the IG's office did a "great job," and helped him and "taxpayers."
The question is, how many others is this happening to? We've written about one such case: tallahassee.com/story/news/pol…

Just gonna put this out there:
If people are calling us to get a vaccine appointment, there's something wrong.
Bless @DavidsonHiers and her seemingly endless patience.
#FlaPol Image
@DavidsonHiers Follow up: I just made an online appointment for an 87 year old Tallahassee man and his wife bc they are "not computer people." They called the newspaper bc, he said, "I didn't know what else to do, I called everybody. You're the first to call back."
@DavidsonHiers Here's another comment: "My Mom asked and the person administering asked 'you didn’t make your second appointment when you made the first?' And mom said 'no, were we supposed to' and DOH employee said she didn’t know."

.@GovRonDeSantis says he vetoed $1 billion out of the $93.2 billion state budget for 2020-21 previously approved by lawmakers. Over $550M cut is from his own recommended budget, incl from the Job Growth Grant Fund. #FlaPol
@GovRonDeSantis Florida still has $6.3 billion in reserves, @GovRonDeSantis says in Monday press conference at the Capitol. Also, the money for teacher pay raises previously made the cut.
#FlaPol
@GovRonDeSantis .@GovRonDeSantis makes clear his vetoes don't (necessarily) suggest a policy disagreement with lawmakers but rather the "historic" effect of the coronavrius on the state's revenues. #FlaPol

More kinda big news from greyhound racing world:
Longwood FL City Manager J.D. Cox announced Sanford Orlando Kennel Club property has been sold to Wood Partners Group "for a mixed-use development to go there."
"We're thrilled that that's occurring," he said.
#FlaPol
The news, which seems to have not been reported anywhere (correct me if wrong), was announced at the end of last Monday's City Commission meeting.
Mayor @BPmattmorgan called the track "a very important property."
#FlaPol
@BPmattmorgan The sale, however, should come as no shock: Amendment 13, passed last year, bans dog racing by the beginning of 2021; besides greyhounds, Sanford Orlando does not have a card room or slots. #FlaPol
