Sarasota commissioner's husband paid $42,000 by developer lobbyist

Original: Sarasota County commissioner’s husband paid $42K by lobbyist for developers

The husband of a Sarasota County commissioner received $42,000 in payments from a lobbyist working for developers, according to WUSF reporting. The payments are raising questions about potential conflicts of interest in county decisions that affect development interests, and are likely to draw scrutiny of the commissioner's votes on land use and growth matters.

Why now: New reporting on payments from a developer lobbyist to a county commissioner's husband raises apparent conflict-of-interest concerns in local government.
