Well, Commissioner, your reporting is not right, and it’s not politics, it’s the law! You are the first candidate to ever so brazenly ignore Florida’s disclosure laws and the Commission must understand what you are doing. If the Commission does not rule against Putnam, it will be the end of disclosure in Florida elections as no candidate, Party or PAC will ever disclose any detail again but simply pay one vendor who subcontracts the entire efforts of the campaign. That is the most dangerous thing of all Putnam’s deeds. The devastating consequences of his clear violations of Florida law – that if the Elections Commission – an entity that has shown an abject lack of principle in the last several years when posed with tough questions, might just lose its nerve again when the Established One, Putnam, stands before them. We can only hope they find courage in the fact that this decision is not just about Putnam’s approach to disclosure, but would end disclosure for all other PAC’s, candidates and Parties should they not find Putnam in the wrong.
