DeSantis is holding campaign-style events being paid by taxpayers

Governor DeSantis is holding campaign-style events that are paid for by taxpayers. Some critics say that he is crossing a line.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, political analysts have accused him of blurring the line between his official public duties and campaigning for re-election. For example, in a taxpayer-funded event, DeSantis pummeled his opponent’s running mate. He accused her of protecting a child sexual abuser. This led the American Bridge 21^st century, a Super PAC, filing a complaint against DeSantis with the Florida Elections Commission. In addition the cost of the governor’s travel and security detail increased a million dollars over the last year. The governor’s office has not released detailed expense reports for these trips.
