Palm Beach County: no public salary among the income listed

The filer held Palm Beach County in 2023, a salaried public office, but the primary sources of income listed (14 Elmcrest LLC) don't include a public payer such as the State of Florida, the county or the school district.

What to check
  • Check the income page of the original: the salary may be listed under another name.
  • Check that they were paid in office all year: the Commission keeps listing a suspended or departed official under the office, and a new term may start partway through the year.
  • Some officials decline or donate their salary; the form still asks for income received.

Rule: Paid public office, but no public salary listed

Context 6

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 1 investment account ($195,593) 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”2023 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $1,783,772; listed items add up to $1,781,477

Reported net worth: $1,783,772. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $1,781,477. They roughly agree. 1 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.

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

Rule: Net worth vs. listed items

Context Missing or incomplete

Assets itemized in an attachment on pages 6–15 of the original filing

The form says “see attached” for 1 entry, and the amendment left this section as originally filed, and the original includes the attachment (pages 6–15 of the original filing).

What to check
  • Open the attachment page to see the individual holdings behind each total.
Rule: Itemized in an attachment

Context Income & business ties

100% of listed income ($6,612) comes from 14 Elmcrest LLC

Listed income totals $6,612 from 1 source. The largest is classed as other / unclassified.

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.

Context Wealth & holdings

Reports a net worth of $1,783,772 — 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

Context Wealth & holdings

Real estate worth $1,490,400 across 3 properties (84% 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.”2023 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
