Whitewash at Florida ethics commission as commissioner Freddie Figgers beats 'speeding ticket'
By Dan Christensen, FloridaBulldog.org
After listening to a whitewash proffered by its general counsel, Florida’s Commission on Ethics Friday gave absolution to ethics commissioner Freddie Figgers for failing to file a required financial disclosure form for 2021.
The commission’s 4-1 vote erased a $1,500 fine assessed against Figgers, and avoided a requirement that it investigate Figgers to determine whether his failure to file was willful. The penalty for willfully failing to file disclosure is removal from public office.
