Running For The Hills ๐Ÿคฃ Article: A new financial disclosure law is causing a wave of resignations across the Tampa Bay area. More than a dozen mayors and city council members are stepping down. 8 On Your Side investigator Mahsa Saeidi is looking into this unprecedented shakeup. Right now, many state officials have to reveal detailed, personal financial information: the governor, all lawmakers, county commissioners, school board members and sheriffs. But if youโ€™re a mayor or a city council member, you donโ€™t have to reveal this information.

This is why I told you all to pay attention to your local government. Washington DC is a decentralized power now. Maryland Hawaii Oregon Maine Illinois Maryland: Requires financial disclosure for most elected officials at the state and local levels, including mayors and city council members.

The scope of disclosed information varies depending on the official's position.

Listen to this clown. ๐Ÿคก Jarrod Buchman will soon be an ex-council member from Oldsmar. โ€œWeโ€™re not career politicians,โ€ he said. โ€œWeโ€™re local volunteers that want to do best for our city and this is inhibiting good people from even running or even staying on these councils.โ€ He said he gets just approximately $8,000 a year. (Not Including What He Steals) He didnโ€™t sign up for this scrutiny and he fears it opens him up to predatory lawsuits. End quote. Now imagine what the Jeffrey Epstein Log will do once it is officially disclosed since it will no longer be a pipular rumor anymore?
