Worth a look Unusual reporting

3 entries are withheld entirely ($2,950,000, 91% of net worth)

In the public copy, the whole description of 3 asset entries is redacted, so the public can't tell what they are. Partial redactions (an account number, or an exempt official's home address next to a named item) are common; this is the whole entry. The filer holds a position (County Judge) listed in s. 119.071, F.S., whose home address or other information the Commission keeps confidential on request, so these redactions may be lawful — though several whole entries go beyond a home address.

What to check
  • Compare with the filer's other filings, which may describe the same items.
  • The Commission on Ethics holds the unredacted filing.

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $3,232,879; listed items add up to $3,233,180

  • Check that the large assets below are described and valued clearly.
