Governor Ron DeSantis Wishes Floridians A Happy Thanksgiving

Leave a reply

A Thanksgiving message from Governor Ron DeSantis:

I want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. Two hundred and thirty-three years ago, President George Washington issued a proclamation for “a day of public thanksgiving and prayer” for the American people to “acknowledge with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.” We’re blessed to be Americans and to live in the free state of Florida. While our country has faced so many problems in recent years, we have the capacity to solve these problems and to bring about brighter days. The First Lady and I have much to be thankful for: her health; our three children, Madison, Mason, and Mamie; and the trust Floridians have placed in me and my administration to continue our efforts. We will Keep Florida Free. Thank you, and God bless you all.

Shameless: Tamarac Commissioner Marlon Bolton Tries To Spin Gift Card Controversy With Gift Card Video

Leave a reply

While Tamarac Commissioner Marlon Bolton refuses to answer questions regarding the funding of a Thanksgiving turkey giveaway, that did not stop him from posting a video showing him giving gift cards to a resident. On Monday, REDBROWARD broke news about City of Tamarac employees pressuring a Tamarac non-profit to write checks to local businesses on behalf of Marlon Bolton. A Sun-Sentinel reporter did not get a response from Bolton on the controversy. But a social media post by Bolton “thanked” the Sun-Sentinel for highlighting his gift card giveaway. Bolton made no mention of the funding questions raised by the media.

On Tuesday, REDBROWARD revealed Tapatia Supermarket gift cards emblazoned with Bolton’s name and title were featured at a private food drive in Plantation. Hours later, Marlon Bolton posted a Facebook video showing a gift card giveaway to a Tamarac resident.

Marlon Bolton Gift Cards Used For Plantation Turkey Giveaway Promotion

Bolton said, “I am happy to have provided gift cards to residents in Tamarac this holiday season!”

Once again, Marlon Bolton failed to address the funding of his giveaways.
