Florida's Special Interests

Florida's special interests ensnare Governor Ritchie in a vise of obligation, their polluter allies scorching Everglades waterways while Sam Seaborn hurls Jane and Muriel's memo like a grenade—forcing Ritchie's public defense of environmental despoilers. These shadowy funders and lobbyists weaponize campaign cash and backroom leverage, transforming Ritchie's 'clean campaign' facade into a bleeding vulnerability amid White House fury and electoral crossfire. Informal networks thrive on donor pacts and issue advocacy, positioning as prime antagonists in Florida's political swamp.
