House Of Representatives: no public salary among the income listed
The filer held House Of Representatives in 2023, a salaried public office, but the primary sources of income listed (CASSEL & CASSEL- ATTORNEYS AT LAW, P.A.) 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 5
ContextUnusual reporting
Net worth $4,518,151; listed items add up to $834,169
Reported net worth: $4,518,151. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $834,169. 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. 1 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.
What to check
No action needed unless other items look off.
