Prof. Richard Painter Interviewed in the Tampa Bay Times about Concern Over Actions of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his Presidential Campaign

Professor Richard Painter was recently interviewed by the Tampa Bay Times about ways that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' and his presidential campaign may be violating ethics rules in similar ways that former President Trump was accused of. DeSantis was recently photographed on the campaign trail in front of a Texas state-owned helicopter. Candidates using government-owned vehicles or transportation for campaign purposes is strictly forbidden. 

Painter described DeSantis’ actions as being a 'serious concern.'  "There’s just absolutely no excuse for using a Texas state-owned helicopter to fly the governor of Florida around on his campaign,” he said.
