He has to sign it before formal notice of intent to run to the FEC no?

The language says that Section 99, Florida Statutes doesn't apply to candidates for President and Vice President. So I would have to go back to Section 99, F.S. to find out. I do know that the particular section of the bill says that it becomes effective upon becoming law. It is one of the bills that was presented to the Governor yesterday. I don't want to predict anything but he could conceivably sign the bill today.

Edit. Section 99(4), F.S.:
(4)(a) Any officer who qualifies for federal public office must resign from the office he or she presently holds if the terms, or any part thereof, run concurrently with each other.
(b) The resignation is irrevocable.
(c) The resignation must be submitted at least 10 days before the first day of qualifying for the office he or she intends to seek.
(d) The written resignation must be effective no later than the earlier of the following dates:
1. The date the officer would take office, if elected; or
2. The date the officer’s successor is required to take office.
(e)1. An elected district, county, or municipal officer shall submit his or her resignation to the officer before whom he or she qualified for the office he or she holds, with a copy to the Governor and the Department of State.
2. An appointed district, county, or municipal officer shall submit his or her resignation to the officer or authority which appointed him or her to the office he or she holds, with a copy to the Governor and the Department of State.
3. All other officers shall submit their resignations to the Governor with a copy to the Department of State.
(f)1. The failure of an officer who qualifies for federal public office to submit a resignation pursuant to this subsection constitutes an automatic irrevocable resignation, effective immediately, from the office he or she presently holds.
2. The Department of State shall send a notice of the automatic resignation to the Governor, and in the case of a district, county, or municipal officer, a copy to:
a. The officer before whom he or she qualified if the officer held an elective office; or
b. The officer or authority who appointed him or her if the officer held an appointive office.
(g) The office is deemed vacant upon the effective date of the resignation submitted by the official in his or her letter of resignation.

Here's the YouTube livestream link to watch the Board of Supervisors meeting this morning.

 

[wdwmagic]

We are praying now for the board of supervisors?!? Just when you think it can't get any more bizarre.

 

[castlecake2.0]

Firefighters: we loooooooveeeeeee youuuuuuuuuu.

 

[wdwmagic]

LOL and now the fire fighter thinks that the board are experts in their area and that the media is now lining up behind CFTOD with praise. I would genuinely like to see one example of where the board is being praised by anyone other than the DeSantis PR fan club.

Yah I snorted with that one

I’ve said it before, but I abhor the fact that Disney makes such contributions to begin with, even if it’s a ubiquitous practice.

It’s a bad look…..especially for those clinging to the narrative that removing RCID was just the Government attempting to level the playing field. They sure didn’t seem to care about a level playing field while the checks were rolling in.

 

[wdwmagic]

The amount of self-congratulatory behavior going on in this meeting is really quite something.

 

[seascape]

I am looking forward to see and hear tge lies from Martin Garcia. It is nice to hear from someone in thr area that is concerned about this Board and the Govenor. Martin is lies in saying he cares. He doesnt care about WDW or the businesses in the District. He will harm everyone in the district and in turn all tourism in Orlando. It is this Board and its decissions that help the NAACP issue a travel warning to all visiting Florida. What a record for a tourism board!

I'm sorry. Can you bring us up to speed?

Can you expand on this? I’m not able to listen this morning.

That looks like you have to resign before you take another office if elected. You only are qualified to hold office if you win the election but nothing about campaigning. Thanks for posting I was using hearsay to form my opinion.

Less than ideal protections for sellers, lots of counterfeit merchandise

It's not when taking office but when qualifying for office. I'm no expert so don't know when that is. Is it when you declare? File with the FEC? I suppose you could declare today but not yet file with the FEC and still not be in violation of the Florida Statute if the new bill hasn't yet been signed.

I call BS on the whole poll. Taco Bell brought back the Mexican Pizza…..no way they dropped 20 points

Special ask for those commenting on the CFTOD meeting, could you please add the time stamp of the meeting and perhaps who you are commenting about?

And what you're (not you specifically @GrumpyFan ) commenting about? There seems to be an assumption we're all watching it real time. We're not. And know exactly what you're talking about. We don't.
