Holmes County: no public salary among the income listed

The filer held Holmes County in 2023, a salaried public office, but the primary sources of income listed (U-Load Dumpsters, Bail Bonds by Brandon Newsom) 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 4

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 2016 Chevy Truck separately from the $26,000 household-goods total

Personal vehicles, jewelry, art and furnishings can be reported in the household-goods lump sum or itemized. Net worth doesn't appear to count them twice.

What to check
  • No action needed unless the lump sum also includes these items.

Rule: Household items listed twice
“Describe, and state the value of, each asset you had on the reporting date you selected for your net worth, if the asset was worth more than $1,000 and if you have not already included that asset in the aggregate value of your household goods and personal effects.”2023 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $125,600; listed items add up to $131,800

Reported net worth: $125,600. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $131,800. 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.”2023 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Income & business ties

77% of listed income ($177,800) comes from U-Load Dumpsters

Listed income totals $230,498 from 2 sources. The largest is classed as real estate.

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

Lists 2 businesses under “Interests in Specified Businesses” and owns more than 5% of all of them

Listed under “Interests in Specified Businesses”: U-Load Dumpsters, Bail Bonds by Brandon Newsom. 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
