Sara Baxter bets $20K on her PBC Commission bid

After one of the costliest Primary elections in Palm Beach County history — with spending reaching over $1 million — Republican Sara Baxter is putting her money down in her bid to represent District 6 on the Commission.

Baxter, a real estate agent, added and spent more money in the last month than she has any other month in this election cycle as she prepares to take on Democrat Michelle Oyola McGovern. McGovern spent hundreds of thousands defeating state Rep. Matt Willhite and Sylvia Sharps in the Democratic Primary contest to fill the open seat representing the agricultural swath of Palm Beach County.

The General Election promises to be a more modest affair.

Baxter, a real estate agent, contributed $20,000 to her campaign, accounting for the majority of the $21,875 added to her campaign between Aug. 6 to Sept. 9. In contrast, McGovern added $82,422 to her campaign in the same period, including the $10,000 she gave her campaign.

Between her personal account and her campaign committee she shares with her husband, Team McGovern, the Democrat holds $100,192 for her campaign. That compares to the $37,123 Baxter has on hand.

This is the first bid for office for both McGovern and Baxter, but McGovern is no stranger to politics. She was a longtime aide to former U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, working as a liaison between his office and the community.

McGovern’s biggest check between Aug. 6 and Sept. 9 came from Delaware North Companies, a Buffalo, New York hospitality company, which contributed $5,000 to her campaign. Her biggest source of support came from real estate and land development interests, which chipped in $12,500.

Law firms and lawyers accounted for her next-biggest source of support; that sector collectively donated $9,500 to McGovern’s campaign.

McGovern’s spending has slowed dramatically since the Aug. 23 Primary. Before then, in August, she spent $120,000 with Cornerstone Solutions in West Palm Beach for the phone banks, mailers and other printing costs. Post-Primary McGovern’s campaign has spent a total of $4,250, with $4,000 of it going to Patriot Games in West Palm Beach for consulting services.

Baxter, who also received $500 from Keep Florida Red, a Tampa political committee, spent $19,377 from Aug. 6 to Sept. 9. The campaign’s biggest bills were $7,750 with Melissa Moore, a Temple Terrace political consultant; $4,000 in radio advertising with Sinclair Broadcast Group; $2,148 in flyers, signs and advertisements; and $1,950 with Google for Google ads and marketing.

Geographically, District 6 is the largest of the county’s seven districts. It covers the area from the western suburbs of West Palm Beach to the sugar cane fields of Glades.

The campaigns faced a deadline last week to report all financial activity through Sept. 9.

Email insights: Ron DeSantis’ latest border bash omits Martha’s Vineyard mention

Gov. Ron DeSantis is ripping Joe Biden’s immigration policy in a new pitch to donors, but he also leaves out the details of his own controversial response.

The DeSantis-signed “Biden created this crisis” email is full of indictments of the Biden border policy, but absent from the missive is any mention of last week’s charter flight of migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard, or this week’s apparent decision to fake a similar flight to Delaware to “punk” reporters covering the story.

While there isn’t a direct mention of the Martha’s Vineyard migrant flights, a reference to “stunts” would seem to be an allusion to the operation, with DeSantis saying the real stunts, of course, are Biden’s doing.

“The Left has been chirping about political stunts to deflect from the real issues happening at the border, but the biggest political stunt by far has been Biden coming in as president and reversing policies that worked just to virtue signal to his base,” DeSantis contends.

Much of the email offers variations on the Biden blaming DeSantis has advanced in comments to media in recent days.

“As the crisis at our southern border worsens, the Left seems to be up in arms and offended about everything except the crisis itself,” DeSantis contends. “I haven’t heard a peep about the millions of people who are being told by Biden they can just walk freely into our country. I haven’t heard a peep about these people being used and abused by the cartels.”

And DeSantis of course asserts the moral high ground, yoking Biden to Democrat Charlie Crist.

“We need leaders with integrity who are willing to put the American people above their political standings. Biden and his pocket puppets, like my opponent, wouldn’t know the meaning of integrity if it were printed on a rubber wristband or written in 78-point font on a teleprompter,” DeSantis contended.

Critics abound, of course, who say that DeSantis’ response to migration through the Mexican border doesn’t evidence “integrity,” with many Democrats saying the Governor is guilty of “human trafficking.”

DeSantis defended the migrant flight Thursday in Miami, again blaming President Biden for having “dumped people all over the fruited plain,” continuing a pattern of deflection in the wake of last week’s events.

Earlier this week, DeSantis told friendly interviewer Sean Hannity that travelers and those in Martha’s Vineyard “wanted” the plane to land.

“They said they wanted this, they said they were a sanctuary jurisdiction,” DeSantis claimed.

The undocumented immigrants had “all signed consent forms to go,” DeSantis said, showing that the flights were “clearly voluntary and all the other nonsense you’re hearing is just not true.”

A press conference earlier this week was animated by questions about the Delaware trip, with DeSantis refusing to “confirm” the trip was happening as rumored. Ultimately, there was no landing in Delaware, a swerve that a DeSantis-linked source said left the media “punked.” Subsequent reporting from the Miami Herald revealed that these immigrants were stranded as a result, but a dishy source had already gloated to Marc Caputo before that piece ran.

“He didn’t tell anyone and purposely left people in thTwitter So technically the media, the Democrats, everyone got punked who decided to heed some s*** on Twitter instead of waiting for confirmation from the Governor’s Office,” a source told NBC News. “The entire point of this is to put a spotlight on the border. It’s what the Governor has said.”

Meanwhile, it seems the scheme will encounter legal scrutiny: Venezuelan migrants are suing the Florida Governor in federal court in the wake of last week’s Massachusetts flight that took 50 people from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard, with a brief stopover in Florida.

The DeSantis administration has been on the defensive in the wake of the legal filing.

“The transportation of the immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard was done on a voluntary basis,” Communications Director Taryn Fenske said in a statement to the Texas Tribune.

“The immigrants were homeless, hungry, and abandoned — and these activists didn’t care about them then. Florida’s program gave them a fresh start in a sanctuary state and these individuals opted to take advantage of chartered flights to Massachusetts. It was disappointing that Martha’s Vineyard called in the Massachusetts National Guard to bus them away from the island within 48 hours.”

Neal Dunn leads Al Lawson by 6 points in CD 2 poll

Republican U.S. Rep. Neal Dunn enjoys a 6-point lead over Democratic U.S. Rep. Al Lawson in a new poll of Florida’s 2nd Congressional District.

The poll, commissioned by the Lawson-backing Southern Roots PAC and conducted by David Binder Research, shows 49% support for Dunn and 43% for Lawson in the North Florida district. Additional survey results show Lawson’s support rises to 47% after respondents were told positives and negatives about each candidate, while Dunn’s share remains unchanged.

The district has drawn attention as a target of Gov. Ron DeSantis, who proposed and signed congressional maps in an unprecedented move this year that eliminated Lawson’s original district, drawn in 2015 to empower the Black electorate.

It is also the only Florida congressional race featuring two incumbents — Dunn, a White Panama City Republican, and Lawson, a Black Tallahassee Democrat — after the DeSantis map drew the two together.

“Al Lawson is the most vulnerable Black Congressman in the country and has been the only African American elected to Congress from North Florida since 1863,” the Southern Roots PAC said in a statement. “This poll shows that Lawson and the Democrats have an opportunity to win CD-02 and protect the rights of Black voters in the South.”

Florida courts had drawn the original district to preserve the voting power of historically Black communities across North Florida. But DeSantis argued that drawing districts based on race violated the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

However, both the U.S. Voting Rights Act and the Florida Constitution’s Fair Districts Amendment require that maps allow minority communities to elect members of their choosing in “minority access districts.” Furthermore, the Voting Rights Act prohibits states from diminishing minority representation.

Gadsden County, which falls in CD 2, is Florida’s only majority-Black county.

“A majority of the African American communities in the district are direct descendants of slaves and Governor DeSantis has shown a complete disregard to Civil Rights by using authoritarian leadership to disenfranchise minority voters and tear apart our communities,” the Southern Roots PAC said.

Democrats and left-leaning groups have criticized DeSantis for signing election laws that strengthen election security and increase regulations on ballot drop boxes. Democrats, including President Joe Biden, have likened such laws to “Jim Crow 2.0,” calling them efforts to limit minority voting power.

The Southern Roots PAC, which is filed in Philadelphia, is focusing its efforts on electing Lawson and calls Dunn a “far right extremist.”

David Binder Research surveyed 600 likely CD 2 voters from Sept. 14-18. The margin of error was 4 percentage points. On party affiliation, 42% identified as Republicans, 41% identified as Democrats, 3% identified with a minor party and 14% reported no party affiliation.

The poll also found a net 6% job approval rating for DeSantis in the district, with 52% approving and 46% disapproving.

FiveThirtyEight gives David Binder Research a B/C rating and a Democratic lean of around 2 points.

The poll results, first shared with POLITICO, support the expert consensus that Republicans hold the advantage in the new district. DeSantis would have defeated Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum by nearly 8 points in 2018, and former President Donald Trump would have defeated Biden by 11 points in 2020.

Polling from June also showed Dunn in the lead, by 43%-40%.

Midterm years are historically unfavorable to the party controlling the White House and Congress. However, Democrats and left-leaning efforts have performed well in polls and Special Elections since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and the national right to abortions.

The Southern Roots PAC is placing the “extremist” label on Dunn in part for his support for overturning Roe v. Wade.

CD 2 stretches from eastern Walton County, across the Democratic-leaning regions in Quincy and Tallahassee, to Madison and Taylor counties and part of Lafayette County.

Appellate court lifts hold on Mar-a-Lago records

In a stark repudiation of former President Donald Trump’s legal arguments, a federal appeals court on Wednesday permitted the Justice Department to resume its use of classified records seized from the former president’s Florida estate as part of its ongoing criminal investigation.

The ruling from a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit amounts to an overwhelming victory for the Justice Department, clearing the way for investigators to continue scrutinizing the documents as they consider whether to bring criminal charges over the storage of of top-secret records at Mar-a-Lago after Trump left the White House. In lifting a hold on a core aspect of the department’s probe, the court removed an obstacle that could have delayed the investigation by weeks.

The appeals court also pointedly noted that Trump had presented no evidence that he had declassified the sensitive records, as he maintained as recently as Wednesday, and rejected the possibility that Trump could have an “individual interest in or need for” the roughly 100 documents with classification markings that were seized by the FBI in its Aug. 8 search of the Palm Beach property.

“If you’re the President of the United States, you can declassify just by saying ‘It’s declassified.’ Even by thinking about it…You’re the president, you make that decision,” Trump claimed in a Fox News Channel interview recorded Wednesday before the appeals court ruling.

The government had argued that its investigation had been impeded, and national security concerns swept aside, by an order from U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon that temporarily barred investigators from continuing to use the documents in its inquiry. Cannon, a Trump appointee, had said the hold would remain in place pending a separate review by an independent arbiter she had appointed at the Trump team’s request to review the records.

The appeals panel agreed with the Justice Department’s concerns.

“It is self-evident that the public has a strong interest in ensuring that the storage of the classified records did not result in ‘exceptionally grave damage to the national security,’” they wrote. “Ascertaining that,” they added, “necessarily involves reviewing the documents, determining who had access to them and when, and deciding which (if any) sources or methods are compromised.”

An injunction that delayed or prevented the criminal investigation “from using classified materials risks imposing real and significant harm on the United States and the public,” they wrote.

Two of the three judges who issued Wednesday’s ruling — Britt Grant and Andrew Brasher — were nominated to the 11th Circuit by Trump. Judge Robin Rosenbaum was nominated by former President Barack Obama.

Lawyers for Trump did not return an email seeking comment on whether they would appeal the ruling. The Justice Department did not have an immediate comment.

The FBI last month seized roughly 11,000 documents, including about 100 with classification markings, during a court-authorized search of the Palm Beach club. It has launched a criminal investigation into whether the records were mishandled or compromised, though is not clear whether Trump or anyone else will be charged.

Cannon ruled on Sept. 5 that she would name an independent arbiter, or special master, to do an independent review of those records and segregate any that may be covered by claims of attorney-client privilege or executive privilege and to determine whether any of the materials should be returned to Trump.

Raymond Dearie, the former chief judge of the federal court based in Brooklyn, has been named to the role and held his first meeting on Tuesday with lawyers for both sides.

The Justice Department had argued that a special master review of the classified documents was not necessary. It said Trump had no plausible basis to invoke executive privilege over the documents, nor could the records be covered by attorney-client privilege because they do not involve communications between Trump and his lawyers.

It had also contested Cannon’s order requiring it to provide Dearie and Trump’s lawyers with access to the classified material. The court sided with the Justice Department on Wednesday, saying “courts should order review of such materials in only the most extraordinary circumstances. The record does not allow for the conclusion that this is such a circumstance.”

Though Trump’s lawyers have said a President has absolute authority to declassify information, they have notably stopped short of asserting that the records were declassified. The Trump team this week resisted providing Dearie with any information to support the idea that the records might have been declassified, saying the issue could be part of their defense in the event of an indictment.

The Justice Department has said there is no indication that Trump took any steps to declassify the documents and even included a photo in one court filing of some of the seized documents with colored cover sheets indicating their classified status. The appeals court, too, made the same point.

“Plaintiff suggests that he may have declassified these documents when he was President. But the record contains no evidence that any of these records were declassified,” the judges wrote. “In any event, at least for these purposes, the declassification argument is a red herring because declassifying an official document would not change its content or render it personal.”

Jay Collins appeals to veterans in ‘Salute to Service’ event in South Tampa

Senate District 14 candidate Jay Collins hosted a “Salute to Service” Tuesday night in South Tampa to promote his campaign among veterans and first responders.

The Republican Collins has made his experience as a retired U.S. Army Green Beret a significant part of his campaign, and he was honored by Major Mack Macksam on behalf of the Veterans Art Center of Tampa Bay Tuesday night. There, he was also given a commissioned piece of artwork completed for the Army’s 247th birthday and recognized by Steve Coker of the Tampa VA Network.

At the event, Collins hosted veterans, military spouses and first responders who spoke in support.

“I want to say thank you for coming out here and thank you for sharing your time with us and for everything you do,” Collins said, addressing the attendees Tuesday night.

“I’m honored to have earned the support of so many that have served our nation and community. This campaign has never been about me, but is truly about ‘we.’ To see such a crowd come out for this, it’s really a testament to how dedicated we are to give back to those who have given so much for our nation.”

Collins is running against first-term Democratic Sen. Janet Cruz for the Senate seat. Despite facing an incumbent, Collins has continued to gain momentum with help from Republican leadership.

Senate President-designate Kathleen Passidomo hosted a fundraiser for Collins last Thursday, and Republican leadership continues to rally behind the political newcomer in hopes of winning the seat held by Cruz.

The host committee of Collins’ fundraiser was packed with members of Florida’s Republican leadership and a slew of GOP Senators, including CFO Jimmy Patronis, Senate President Wilton Simpson, House Speaker Chris Sprowls and Speaker-designate Paul Renner.

In the latest campaign fundraising reports released near the start of September, Collins reported hefty support from GOP leadership. His affiliated political committee, Quiet Professionals FL, received $10,000 from House Speaker Pro Tempore Bryan Ávila’s political committee, Fighting for Florida’s Families. In July, Ávila’s committee gave Collins a $20,000 boost — a testament to how much Republicans want this seat.

In mid-August, the Florida Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee also provided Collins’ campaign $38,100 worth of in-kind contributions. The in-kind donations included $17,500 for campaign consulting services, $9,600 for polling, $6,000 for research and $5,000 for campaign staff.

But Democrats aren’t ignoring Cruz.

In the same time frame the Republican Senatorial Committee was contributing services to Collins, the incumbent collected $38,697 worth of in-kind contributions from the Florida Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee. Those gifts included $33,000 worth of polling and research and $5,500 on consulting services.

And the committee hasn’t stopped there. In the most recent period covering late August, the Democratic committee covered $8,278 in costs, including about $6,000 worth of staff payroll and $2,000 in office rent for Cruz.

The competitive spending by both parties shows how vital this Senate seat is.

The two are in for a tough race, with Cruz boasting a hefty war chest. She started September with $640,309 in available spending money between her campaign account and affiliated political committee, Building The Bay PC. Collins began the month with $358,959 between his two fundraising sources.

SD 14 is a blue-leaning seat, but a competitive one. About 51.25% of voters under the new SD 14 lines favored Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 Presidential Election while 47.33% voted for Republican Donald Trump.

Gov. DeSantis administration’s proposed rule will delay access to care for poor, autistic children, providers say

Providers are warning that poor children with autism won’t be able to timely receive important applied behavior analysis (ABA) services under a proposed new regulation being pushed by the Gov. Ron DeSantis administration.

The proposed rule requires children to have what’s called a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation service before qualifying for ABA services, and a follow-up evaluation every six months to continue to qualify for the care.

Providers say the requirement violates federal Medicaid law because it will slow down access to care. Moreover, the providers say it will unnecessarily increase their operating costs by more than $1 million in the first year alone if not altered.

The steep price tag is driven by a requirement in the proposed rule that the assessments include the administration and scoring of two proprietary standardized behavior assessments: the Vineland-3 Comprehensive Parent Interview Form Including Maladaptive Behavior Domain and the Behavior Assessment System for Children, referred to as Vineland, and the Third Edition, Parenting Relationship Questionnaire, referred to as the BASC-3 PRQ.

Mary Riordan, president of the Florida Association of Behavior Analysis (FABA), called the biennial assessment “excessive.”

FABA’s attorneys sent a letter to Agency For Health Care Administration (AHCA) Secretary Simone Marstiller on Sept. 19 asking the state to consider alternative regulations that would cost less, which is allowable under state administrative law.

As an alternative, FABA’s attorneys suggested that the state alter the rule to require ABA providers to conduct just one of the assessments AHCA is requiring in the proposed rule. Additionally, FABA recommended that the assessments be conducted once every three to five years, not twice a year.

“This would be more consistent with how the tools were designed and how they are often used in the educational system and other settings with the similar recipients of behavioral analysis services,” wrote FABA attorney Karen A. Putnal with the Tallahassee-based Moyle Law Firm.

FABA’s request for the state to seek alternative, less costly regulations means AHCA must either adopt an alternative rule or provide a statement of reasons why it’s continuing to support the proposed regulation. AHCA will also be required to develop a statement of estimated regulatory costs, referred to as a SERC, or to alter the SERC that was previously developed for the proposed regulation.

Applied behavior analysis is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior, according to Autism Speaks. The Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a study that estimated 1 in 44 eight-year-old children in 2018 were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Council of Autism Service Providers Vice President of Government Affairs Judith Ursitti traveled from Boston to attend a Sept. 20 meeting in Tallahassee where the rule was the subject of a workshop.

Currently, pediatricians can refer a child for autism services. Ursitti said the state’s move to require a CDE before the child can receive ABA services runs afoul of federal Medicaid Early Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment rules that require states to provide comprehensive services and furnish all Medicaid coverable, appropriate and medically necessary services needed to correct and ameliorate health conditions in children.

“They are causing delays,” she said of the state’s proposed rule. “The kids who are on Medicaid deserve access to care. And if they don’t get it, they can’t get that time back. They are developing. There’s no do-overs.”

While her organization does not litigate, she predicted that unless changes are made to proposed Rule 59G-4.125, it will be challenged.

“We have seen Medicaid litigation in other states, Texas was one,” she said. “It’s unfortunate that it has to come to that but sometimes it does.”

Though Florida utilizes a managed care delivery system for most Medicaid covered services, managed care plans are not required to provide ABA services for children. Instead, it’s reimbursed on a fee-for-service basis. 

About 30 people attended the Sept. 20 rule development meeting in Tallahassee and another 318 people participated in the meeting virtually, according to AHCA.

The proposed rule is the latest step the state has taken to alter how it delivers and pays for ABA services as an attempt to ferret out fraud and abuse. The proposed regulation works in tandem with a new regulation that, effective as of Aug. 1, requires ABA providers to use the national standard Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code structure for behavior analysis. 

The CPT codes are developed by American Medical Association (AMA) Behavior Analysis.  

While ABA providers said Tuesday they supported the switch to CPT codes, they did express concerns this summer with some changes Florida Medicaid officials made to the AMA-developed CPT codes. 

Among other things, Florida modified codes to prevent providers from billing for any ABA services provided at recreational, leisure or educational camps or during extracurricular activities. Other changes include requiring a parent or guardian of an autistic child to participate in every treatment session.

Providers warned the changes to the CPT codes would preclude children from accessing services and could put the state out of compliance with federal law, but the state didn’t make any changes.

The proposed new rule, as well as the recently enacted CPT rule, comes as the state struggles to hold down the costs of ABA services. While Florida relies on managed care plans to administer most Medicaid covered services to the poor, elderly, and disabled, the care provided to autistic children is delivered on a fee-for-service basis.
