Lobbyist Ron Book one of new Florida Governor’s “big donors”.
Florida’s new Governor, Ron DeSantis will be sworn in tomorrow.
Tonight, he’s hosting a private dinner in Tallahassee with his inaugural committee and “big donors”. According to the Miami Herald, a public records request from the Herald/Times, revealed the names of about 90 major sponsors.
Prominent in the list; “Disney, private prison company The GEO Group, the Florida Police Benevolent Association and influential Tallahassee lobbyist Ron Book.”
Book’s daughter, State Sen. Lauren Book, is a Democrat.

I wonder if the Books had any influence in Governor Desantis suspending/removing the Sheriff of Broward county from his position just now since that is their district and with the Parkland incident. Hmm.
Has he been removed or suspended? I don’t think so.
Yea at this point it is all speculation. The governor’s office is denying that they ever insinuated such a thing.
Well, its official now. All over the evening news. Sheriff Scott Israel removed. Right after his removal, there was a mas resignation of many officers including 6 high ranking officers because of they felt it was unjust by the governor. He is going to fight it in the courts and then run again in a couple of years. Got to admire that.
Ron Book is probably is probably taking notice how strong and influential FAC has become in the last 10 years and notices the gradual changes in Federal court rulings, the facts being said and positive opinions by many in the media news outlets and other such things. He is probably trying to strengthen and add to his alliances in order to keep things the way they are or worst for us.
Honestly I don’t think he even notices FAC at all. He is that arrogant to think he has everything and every legislator in this state “on lock” as they say that no matter what the opposition is to him, he ALWAYS WINS because he has MORE POWER, MORE MONEY, AND MORE INFLUENCE. Him and Little Miss Precious are like a Stage 4 cancer. No matter how much chemo and radiation you throw at it, they are so metastisized as a gross ugly tumor on this state, that they will never shrivel up and die. Unfortunately.
I do not see Lauren on the article as an attendee. So why is she mentioned here? And why specifically mention she is a Democrat? Surely it is not to insinuate that we would not have been incredibly better off had the Democrat candidate won? That election is going to hurt our cause “bigly”. Can’t wait till our cases end up before the Brook and GEO company incoming state supreme court justices. yay for those that voted this man in
Not sure what you are saying, G. Can you clarify your comment.
