I wrote about Joshua (aka Josue) Larose before on
September 17th. I have to say he has me pretty annoyed with his PAC's on the
Miami Dade County Elections site. Besides his 34 political parties (see September 17th post) he has 50 PAC's in Miami Dade County. Somehow Larose has been making quarterly reports for all 50 of them for 4 quarters now. They are all still open but none of them has any money in the reports. He said in his filing papers that he has accounts at Bank of America. I saw two branches mentioned at 701 Brickell and 1414 Alton Road. So he has at least 2 accounts for all these PAC's. Can you have an account with "0" in it for over a year? If there is not "0" in it, then the amount in it has to be on at least one of the PAC's wouldn't you think? Do you need a separate account for each PAC? Someone should be checking up when a person starts 50 PAC with no money in any of them. I don't like it because it litters the PAC page with useless nonsense. Some would say he is making a mockery of Political Action Committee's (like that matters).
You might be happy to note Larose is no longer running for Miami Dade County Mayor.

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla., Feb. 9 (UPI) -- A Florida man who formed hundreds of political action committees is accused of filing false campaign finance reports and could be fined more than $2 million.
A state investigation found Josue Larose of Deerfield Beach lied about the amount of money he raised in his failed Florida gubernatorial bid in 2010 and collected tens of millions of dollars for his PACs, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Wednesday.
Larose, now running for the U.S. Senate, has requested a hearing before a state administrative law judge on the 2,052 violations of state election laws filed against him by the Florida Elections Commission, court records show. Each instance has a fine of up to $1,000.
Larose claimed employees at the Florida Division of Elections mounted the case against him because he refused to give them money, court documents indicated.
oh boy...
was he just getting ready for election year here?
I guess I can sniff them out..I can't believe elections let him go on so long.
