These reports were clearly not what Adam Putnam was seeking as he unveiled his big Oscar moment. And while his numbers may be accurate, Putnam’s actions and his comments seem to only bring greater attention to his fundraising activities and what they really mean for the citizens of Florida who need their chief regulator to regulate.
USA Herald has been closely following these stories (read our coverage here and here). As Agricultural Commissioner, Putnam seems to show a pattern of favor towards big donors, and even more alarming, a departure from the duties of Agricultural Commissioner and a focus on his next political office. USA Herald will be following this trend. With another $2.25M in donations, it remains to be seen if this money comes with strings attached.
