Gillum, once mayor of Tallahassee, is accused of acting in concert with associate Sharon Janet Lettman-Hicks to solicit funds using false representations and promises.
“The indictment further alleges the defendants used third parties to divert a portion of those funds to a company owned by Lettman-Hicks, who then fraudulently provided the funds, disguised as payroll payments, to Gillum for his personal use,” a Justice Department press release said.
Gillum is also charged with making a false statement to the FBI. He denied wrongdoing and said the case was political.
Gillum ran for governor of Florida with the Democratic nomination in 2018, nearly defeating Ron Desantis.
Since then, he has been no stranger to trouble. Continue reading

WASHINGTON, D.C.— Congresswoman Kat Cammack (R-FL-03) joined Congressman Gimenez (R-FL-26) as an original co-sponsor of the Migrant Protection Protocols Act, which seeks to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to codify President Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy.
The Migrant Protection Protocols Act of 2019, otherwise known as the “Remain in Mexico”policy, ensured that migrants were returned to Mexico for the duration of their immigration proceedings and were given a notice to appear in an immigration court rather than being let loose in the United States. This policy was highly effective in securing our southern border as it enabled the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to establish a safe and orderly immigration process. Under MPP, Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) were able to regulate the inflow of migrants, process those who followed the law and properly applied for asylum, and curb the ability of smugglers and traffickers to prey on vulnerable populations.
Now, however, the weak and gutless decision by the Biden administration to reverse the Remain in Mexico Policy incentivizes Mexico to pass its border security responsibilities to the United States rather than dealing with the influx of migrants from Central and South America at the Mexican border.

In Case You Missed It: From the Florida Seaport Transportation and Economic Development Council
Florida’s “Open for Business” Strategy Answering Supply Chain Demands
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (July 13, 2022) – Strong investments in Florida’s 15 seaports have well-positioned Florida to answer supply chain demands, and take advantage of a realignment in global trade routes, a new report shows. The Seaport Mission Plan, Florida Ports: Open for Business, released by the Florida Seaport Transportation and Economic Development Council (FSTED), provides an analysis on the health and capabilities of Florida ports, as well as trends on the horizon.
The report comes as 29 West Coast ports are working without a negotiated labor contract, and many shippers have already changed lanes to reroute to East Coast ports in fears that 2022 labor negotiations could lead to similar strikes, lockouts and slowdowns that occurred in 2002, 2008, 2012 and 2014.
