Freshman Broward State Sen. Lauren Book says she won’t abstain from voting on matters involving clients of her father, powerful lobbyist Ron Book. Similarly, she sees no conflict of interest in voting on measures to funnel millions of taxpayer dollars to benefit her non-profit charity and political launching pad, Lauren’s Kids.
… Lobbyist Ron Book, the senator’s father, is the unpaid president of Lauren’s Kids. Yet he also makes money from Lauren’s Kids. According to the 501(c) (3) organization’s 2015 tax return, he paid himself $61,651 for renting space to Lauren’s Kids in his Aventura office. Ron Book, who is also on the charity’s board, collected $63,175 in rent from Lauren’s Kids in 2014, according to that year’s tax return. Ron Book declined to comment.
This corrupt Ron & Lauren Book some one should seek answers and seek investigation and go further and find what’s really hidden about this family the truth will come out one day soon so much $$ is given to there organization from the state of Florida!! This lobbyist Ron Book needs to be investigated!!!!!
All Floridians deserve to know what money is doing to our political system and consequently all its citizens. Maybe someone will take the lead and get the job done. Even you could be that person. I would be grateful.
