Context 5
ContextUnusual reporting
Lists 1 investment account ($6,000) 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”2022 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
ContextUnusual reporting
Net worth $210,693; listed items add up to $298,654
Reported net worth: $210,693. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $298,654. A difference is normal: net worth also counts assets and debts that aren't listed individually (items under $1,000, credit cards, taxes), and the instructions say subtracting listed liabilities from listed assets won't give an accurate figure in most cases.
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.”2022 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
ContextIncome & business ties
Earns from 4 separate employers or businesses
Several distinct earned-income sources (excluding investments, retirement and Social Security).
What to check
Are any of these sources connected to each other or to the office sought?
Real estate worth $497,090 across 4 properties (236% of net worth)
Real estate holdings, as listed.
What to check
Look the parcels up with the county property appraiser: land use (vacant or improved), assessed value and when they were bought.
Check whether any listed liability is a mortgage on these properties.
Rule: Real estate holdings
“Real property: Identify by providing the street address of the property.”2022 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
ContextWealth & holdings
Lists 1 business under “Interests in Specified Businesses” and owns more than 5% of it
Listed under “Interests in Specified Businesses”: BAYS UNLIMITED 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
