This needs to happen to the US congress and senate.

[@cstcomputers]

Afraid of transparency is a red flag for government officials. I love the new law, now we need it at a Federal level.

[@estherfagbolu7273]

If they have nothing to hide, it shouldn’t be any problem. Obviously they have something to hide. This law needs to be nationwide.

[@MartiG83]

They should pass this law federally for the rest of America.

[@kaindabadguy]

This shows the citizens who in office is there to serve the people and who’s there to serve themselves. Hold all politicians accountable.

[@mgharvey3657]

Corruption runs deep on both the left and right. This needs to happen nationwide for all lawmakers.

[@lourdesgarcia5140]

If they “don’t get a dime”…. Just show it. This needs to happen in congress!

[@itsjustdroid]

I dont live in Flordia but this should be COUNTRY WIDE for all positions of high office and government. Congratulations for all you Floridians!

[@aaronw.2050]

I like how council members in the state of Florida suddenly have a problem with being transparent.

[@soozieq697]

This law needs to be at the federal level too!

[@qsaffordable]

When you don’t want the city to know how you’re using your position for financial gain, this happens. I appreciate the state of Florida requiring this level of transparency.

[@grandfaultimperceptor]

Nobody is quitting that has nothing to hide. About damn time elected officials are held to this level of transparency.

[@gayle9428]

Just image how many Senators and Representatives would suddenly resign if that was a Federal law!😳

[@mb63gts66]

How to tell people your corrupt without telling them your corrupt. This needs to be standardized across the country, especially in congress.

[@LH74]

This should be mandatory nationwide.

[@ronsmith4325]

Sounds like they all have something to hide. Imagine being a public servant and thinking you have a right to privacy.

[@ricknielsen3660]

The fact that all of these people are resigning would lead me to believe that they are conducting nefarious activities

[@JackMoore0311]

Politicians resigning? How do we make this a nation wide trend?

[@Eta30mins]

They all need to be investigated AND AUDITED they know something and are doing something that are unethical.

[@SaiyanLink88]

Please let this become federal law. The people have zero other defenses against corruption. This is atleast a start.
