A corporation paid $10 million. A foundation associated with First Lady Casey DeSantis received it. Two politically active nonprofits divided it. A committee controlled by Governor Ron DeSantis’s chief of staff collected most of it. Millions then moved into the Republican Party of Florida and another political committee controlled by the same chief of staff.\n\nThe money left tracks everywhere it went.\n\nResponsibility did not.\n\nA Florida grand jury has now concluded that the DeSantis administration misappropriated $10 million in taxpayer money as part of what it described as a sophisticated plan to finance political activity. Yet the jury recommended no criminal charges because it could not determine which individual made the original decision.\n\n“Nobody will take responsibility,” the jurors wrote.\n\nApparently, Florida had a government powerful enough to move $10 million in weeks, but not coherent enough to remember who told it to move.\n\n# It Began With Money Owed to Florida\n\nThe story begins with Centene Corporation, the parent company...",
