This post is about Marc Caputo, so I should probably begin with a couple of disclaimers. Caputo is a friend and one of the more talented journalists of his generation now covering Florida politics.

On Tuesday morning, news of Phil Levine retaining a veteran fundraiser for his political committee All About Florida was broke by Marc Caputo, the mile-a-minute POLITICO Florida reporter based in Miami. The item was clearly a dish from Levine’s camp to Caputo, who led his must-read Florida Playbook with a blurb about Courtney Whitney‘s hiring. There’s […]
