When Florida taxpayers shelled out $615,000 last week to charter a plane that whisked 48 Venezuelan migrants away to Martha’s Vineyard, they paid a significant premium for a service that lined the pockets of a Florida GOP donor.

to the Florida legislature’s appropriations chief, his father, and the state’s Republican party.

While millions of dollars are moved throughout Florida politics each year, the donations may shed light on why Vertol was chosen to carry out the migrant flights last week—and why Florida was seemingly willing to pay more than double the market price for a charter service to do so. Rena Davenport, a sales associate with Exquisite Air Charter, said in an email that large capacity aircraft can vary significantly in price for charter flights, and that final cost details are often discussed over the phone. The cost of Florida’s migrant flight, however, is still more than double the market price for the most expensive domestic charter flight quoted.

Robbing the taxpayers.

And So what? I guess you’re upset because your overlord (Soros) had to fund the illegals lawsuits?

Nothing extrapolated over time.. how much did it cost the MV residents to mobilize the army to move and then house them.. ? Will the gofundme cover that too?

No because jet company will just donate the funds to DeSantis. It's straightforward taxpayer funding of elections!

I was wondering why they flew them instead of busing. Because of the grift, of course.

DeSantism in action! Growing Florida’s economy with one dirty deal after another. Human trafficking for fun and profit! Ron didn’t invent it, but he’s figured out a way to exploit it, bill the taxpayers, and get a generous campaign contribution in the bargain. Ron DeSmartass!

FL deserves better: VoteOutDeSantis

Ignore the 5 million Dems let in illegally. How do you destroy America?

You're going to shit a brick when you find out how much it costs us to maintain the border patrol. Your point?

Gotta fund his donors with taxpayer cash so they can give some back to him, amirite?

No surprise there- how do these people sleep at night!

From Florida's taxpayers, doubt that money came from RonDeSantisFL GovDeSantis own pockets.

Prices always go up when it's a govt client.

A win win 😁

That's who really is paying for all this crap. Taxpayers! Suckers. Gang of Psychos, at your service. Wiping the memory of Lincoln, Eisenhower, and Reagan forever.

Shearing the sheeple, a Republican favorite.

Enlightening well-researched article by ByJoshFiallo in about how Florida GOP Gov Ron DeSantis significantly over-paid, with FLA tax-payer money, for charter flights from Texas to Martha's Vineyard. CharlieCrist RepValDemings DWUhlfelderLaw TheJusticeDept

Another crook in our system who thinks only of himself and not the purpose of the role he was elected to do!

Please identify the bus companies that are involved. They could not do this horrible thing without them.

😳

How much did Biden spend on flying illegals around the country? How much did Biden spend on illegals phones? How much spent on housing illegals? Etc, etc.

States are given funds to deal with migrant issues and they use it as they see fit. And remember, Biden dropped plane loads of migrants into Florida cities with no heads up, no coordination with local or state leaders....

This was a snapshot a Venezuelan Migrant took as they were forced out of Martha's Vineyard.

Great now show me where the now weekly 600,000,000.00 US tax dollars being sent to Ukraine are going.

Human trafficking for profit and political gain via Desantis and his cronies.

Money laundering. Using tax payers money to line the pockets of DeSantis cronies.

Haha. And what a welcome by the NIMBY rich Dems!

Shocking....one more corrupt action by the GOP...

Get my fainting couch, quickly.

Worth it for the lolz
