What is the name of the law that forbids political favors for money given

[Maraya1969]

to a candidate?

Morgan Stanley was the largest contributor to the Bush campaign. They are now involved with a developer, Kitson and Partners to build a CITY on heretofore untouched land in Florida which is going to RUIN the ecosystem and probably add the final touches to the extinction of the Florida Panther. I'd say 90% of the people here want the state to buy it and the state can buy it but Jeb and all his buddies passed the development through without blinking an eye. The land is the Babcock Ranch and it was protected by Mr. Babcock for years, (he even planted trees and removed non-native plants to help the environment of the 91,000 acres). Unfortunately he has died and his heirs want to sell. The way this thing is being passed by elected officials down the line right in the face of breaking about 40 building codes is despicable. I think everyone is having their pockets lined save a very small few who stand up and say "NO". Their is a real problem when all the people want one thing and the elected officials go in the complete opposite way.

We need to know what law they are breaking even if we can't actually prove it so we can put the information into the newspapers - well the idea anyway.

3. This is a pattern in Florida.

Also look for the following:

(1) They will set up one real estate firm within the mega-subdivision to handle ALL the sales in the project. Which means if there are any "mistakes" or poor craftsmanship, because they're building on a bed of muck that was covered over with 35 feet of landfill, you'll never hear about it.

(2) Beware when they do install a "government." It will be developer approved, with handpicked commissioners. What you will have is a developer controlled subdivision, which will one day become a city managed controlled city.

(3) Expect building permits to be handed out without proper inspection. Expect construction to take place without contacting the necessary authorities on start dates. Expect the Water Management Authority to be in cahoots with all of them, breaking every known rule in the book because they're a "private" subdivision. What will not be acceptable on public land, they'll look the other way for on a private subdivision.

Florida is pretty nasty when it comes to taking corners on development and setting up local government. That same kind of Alan Simpson property rights mentality, exists here.
