Worth a look Income & business ties

No major clients listed for Fein Brothers Properties, Inc., which paid them $14,084

Owners of more than 5% of a business who received more than $1,000 from it must list the business's customers or clients that provided more than 10% of its gross income. The secondary income section is empty or N/A. That's correct only if no single customer exceeded 10% — the form doesn't say.

What to check
  • For a small or one-person business, it is unusual for no client to exceed 10% of revenue.
  • Check the business's public contracts or listings for major clients.

Rule: Business owner with no major clients listed
“If your ownership and gross income exceeded the two thresholds listed above, then for that business entity you must list every source of income to the business entity which exceeded 10% of the business entity's gross income”2024 Form 6 instructions, Income — Secondary Sources ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context 5

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 3 investment accounts ($1,842,100) instead of what's in them

The instructions say the investments held in a brokerage account or IRA are the assets to report — not the account itself. As listed, the public can't see what the filer is invested in.

What to check
  • Which companies or funds are in these accounts? Holdings matter for conflicts of interest.

Rule: Accounts listed instead of investments
“Note that the product contained in a brokerage account, IRA, or the Florida College Investment Plan, is your asset”2024 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $3,156,316; listed items add up to $3,156,316

Reported net worth: $3,156,316. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $3,156,316. They roughly agree.

What to check
  • No action needed unless other items look off.

Rule: Net worth vs. listed items
“Simply subtracting your liabilities from your assets will not result in an accurate net worth figure in most cases.”2024 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Income & business ties

65% of listed income ($155,498) comes from State of Florida

Listed income totals $239,393 from 3 sources. The largest is classed as government & public payroll.

What to check
  • Who is this source, and does it have business before the office sought?
  • If the filer owns it, check the business section and secondary income.

Rule: Where the money comes from
“List the name of each source of income that provided you with more than $1,000 of income during”2024 Form 6 instructions, Income ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Wealth & holdings

Reports a net worth of $3,156,316 — a millionaire on paper

Net worth is the filer's own figure. Being wealthy isn't a problem; it's context for comparing candidates and for reading the rest of the form.

What to check
  • Compare with the other candidates in the race.
  • Check that the large assets below are described and valued clearly.

Rule: Net worth tier
“Report your net worth as of”2024 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Wealth & holdings

Lists 1 business under “Interests in Specified Businesses” and owns more than 5% of it

Listed under “Interests in Specified Businesses”: Fein Brothers Properties, Inc.. That section covers banks, insurers, mortgage and small-loan companies, utilities, alcohol licensees, pari-mutuels and holders of city or county franchises — industries where officials' interests are disclosed separately.

What to check
  • Check whether the office sought oversees or contracts with these industries.
  • Look the businesses up on Sunbiz for officers and registered agents.

Rule: Stakes in closely regulated businesses
“The types of businesses covered in this section include: state and federally chartered banks”2024 Form 6 instructions, Interests in Specified Businesses ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
