MIAMI — Fla. Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is on the defensive over questions about how $10 million in state money came to be used to
fund a political campaign.
In two terms as governor, DeSantis has enjoyed strong support from
the Republican-controlled legislature. But now, Republicans in the
state House of Representatives say the alleged misuse of funds may
warrant a criminal investigation.
The allegations involve $10 million that was paid to Florida by
Centene, a company that provides managed care to Medicaid recipients.
The money was part of a $67 million settlement by the company after
it was charged with overbilling taxpayers for medications. Ten
million dollars of the settlement was paid directly to a non-profit
group, Hope Florida. That's a charity founded by Gov. DeSantis' wife,
Casey, to help people move off government assistance into
community-based programs.
