Rubio Campaign: On the morning of a critical vote that will determine the future of Charlie Crist’s sweetheart bailout of one his main campaign contributors, a new report published by the Palm Beach Post reveals Crist has been on the receiving end of more than $100,000 in campaign contributions from “executives, family members, attorneys and lobbyists” linked to the bailout’s beneficiary.
According to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission, Crist received 46 contributions totaling $103,987.00 last year and all but one of the contributions were steered to Crist in May and June of 2009. That same April, Crist announced he had restructured the bailout for a third time, making it better for one beneficiary and worse for Florida’s taxpayers and the Everglades. Full story here.
