Specifically, a July 20-23 Disney Cruise, booked in May via the Fleming Island Republican’s Working for Florida Families political committee. Those dates indicate the cruise will be aboard the Disney Dream, christened by […]

Three of them for re-election, and another on the committee level only. ____ Sen. Aaron Bean brought in $14,600 in new November money to his campaign account, pushing the […]

March offered northeast Florida’s state legislators a window to fundraise before the Legislative Session kicked off. Some took advantage of it, such as state Sen.
