Lauren Book Big Winner in State Funding
The Miami Herald reports, “Lauren’s Kids, a non-profit founded by Sen. Lauren Book, D-Plantation, to promote awareness of and to prevent sexual abuse against children, is eligible for $1 million from taxpayers. It is 1 of 13 projects sponsored by Rep. Jeanette Nunez, R-Miami, that are still alive. The lobbyist on the bill, Ron Book, is the senator’s father.” The report continues, “[Lauren’s Kids] will seek an additional $3 million to $10 million in public money in the next five years.”
Sadly, the Herald also reports that, “In a tight budget year, many projects won’t survive the upcoming weeks of legislative maneuvering.”

If Hernando, and other counties, need additional funds….tell them to call Sen Lauren Book and ask her for some of the taxpayers money.
