Search and Miller readily admitted they had occasionally discussed commission business before they were fully trained and understood that doing so ran afoul of sunshine laws. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
Ultimately, they didn’t pursue charges on the Sunshine Act. Prosecutors instead decided to charge both Search and Miller with perjury, punishable by up to five years in prison, saying they lied about the nature of their phone calls with each other. — PolitiTweet.org

In an interview with The Intercept, Arnold said that his intervention in the meeting kicked off the resulting investigation: “That’s what ultimately led to the complaint with the state attorney’s office.” — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
Behind the scenes, however, not only was Arnold already aware that Miller would bring the idea to the board, but Arnold himself — according to an email he sent to the county attorney that was obtained by The Intercept — had also directly encouraged Miller to do so. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
The county administrator, Bradley Arnold, interjected: “There’s a conflict that’s associated with sunshine law issues.” Arnold was accusing Miller of having communicated with Search about the proposal via his wife, in alleged violation of the Government in the Sunshine Act. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
At a county board meeting in February 2021, county commissioner Miller proposed a reconciliation group be formed between local animal rights advocates — of which he and his wife were two — and supporters of the local kill shelter, suggesting Gary Search as the mediator. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
Miller went from newly elected commissioner to being investigated by a Florida state attorney for violating the Sunshine Act. Under the act, county commissioners cannot discuss county business privately with other commissioners; they can only do so publicly at official meetings. — PolitiTweet.org

In November 2020, their slate won in a landslide. A top official with The Villages made clear to the commissioners how rough a road they were about to go down. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
A group of fed-up Villagers decided to fight back through the county commission. Craig Estep, Oren Miller, and Gary Search ran as Republicans in opposition to the tax increase. And Miller added a promise to bring a no-kill shelter to The Villages. — PolitiTweet.org
The Intercept @theintercept
In 2019, residents of The Villages, a master-planned retirement community of 130,000 in central Florida, were suddenly hit with a 25 percent hike in their property taxes. An increase residents had not accounted for. — PolitiTweet.org

“It was a setup.” On February 16, 2021, the county board met at The Villages Sumter County Service Center. The meeting would lead to a county commissioner being investigated under Florida’s sunshine laws and, eventually, convicted of perjury. https://t.co/aGcf3fMNnM — PolitiTweet.org

.@AmericaFrontier is not the only venture fund that would see major returns throughout their portfolio in the case of a “kinetic event.” But unlike most investment firms, it is closely tied to the very people who would craft any response to such a war. https://t.co/nW0XeUiBro — PolitiTweet.org

FTX once enjoyed a near-mythical status in the media, with splashy cover stories and news articles lauding the crypto powerhouse. Such coverage rarely emerges organically, and @FTX_Official hired an army of public relations firms to burnish its image. https://t.co/oQgOAo4DbR — PolitiTweet.org

“A lot of the content that I see on Telegram and elsewhere is eerily reminiscent of neo-Nazi propaganda. It makes sense given the audience they are trying to recruit, who are, essentially, for lack of a better word, sociopaths,” said @ColinPClarke. https://t.co/aj1FR65fWY — PolitiTweet.org

American police chiefs often train in Israel, where they visit “sites of well-documented human rights abuses against Palestinians,” according to @EranEfrati of @jvplive. “Participants witness real-life examples of repressive violence.” https://t.co/EMk8VSBCNz — PolitiTweet.org

“It is outrageous that these companies want the right to not have to compete with each other in an open market for employees. On a competitive market they don’t want to pay what people’s labor would actually be worth.” https://t.co/xkfB0Jrl8M — PolitiTweet.org
