The rest of the attend- ees, who did not donate, included 13 members of the DeSantis adminis- tration. Among them: then -Chief of Staff James Uthmeier, who is now the state attorney general; then -Agency (or Health Care Administration Sec- retary Jason Weida, who is now DeSantis' chief of staff; and Anastasios Ka- outsas, who was then a deputy chief of staff but was named Florida's edu- cation commissioner this month. A spokesperson for DeSantis said the legisla- tors and staff participated "for the benefit of the fundraiser." There were five staffers and advisers from DeSan- tis' failed presidential campaign, indudingdep- uty campaign manager David Polyansky, adviser Marc Reichelderfer and pollster Ryan Tyson, who each received 5169-per- night rooms. Tyson told the Herald/ Times that he did not know that the Hope Flor- ida Foundation paid for his room until a reporter sent him receipts. He also said he didn't recall whether the reason for the golf tournament was to raise money for the char- ity. "There was no reason for them to do that, so I'll gladly reimburse them the S189.28 they spent on my stay," he said. When notified by a reporter, Polyansky also said he was going to pay the foundation for his room. He said he flew into town primarily to catch up with the governor and didn't remember the details of the event. Two executives with Charter Communications, including recently named Florida A&M University President Marva Johnson, also received rooms, ac- cording to the records. The cable company gave S100,000 to the Repub- lican Party of Florida in the weeks before and after the event but did not give to the foundation, according to a list of do- nations through March 24 this year. A spokesperson for the company declined to comment. Bennett Weiner, presi- dent and CEO of BBB Wise Giving Alliance, a standards -based charity monitoring organization, said he had never heard of a fundraising scenario in which participants weren't asked to make a donation. "That's the purpose of the event," he said. "Even if it's not a large amount, it's something." LAWMAKERS RECEIVED GIFTS Nearly a year after the event, DeSantis touted its success during a news conference in the Pan- handle. At the time, a House committee was scrutiniz- ing the foundation, which was used to steer at least S8.5 million from the Medicaid settlement to a political committee con- trolled by Uthmeier. Re- publican Rep. Alex An- drade has called the series of transactions illegal. At the news conference, DeSantis singled out law- makers who attended the Governor's Cup for appar- ent hypocrisy. "They were all a part of this," DeSantis said. "They were all singing the praises." Eight Republican law- makers attended on the second day, golfing with DeSantis and state offi- cials without lobbyists present, several said. But four, including Hooper and McClure, said they didn't know the event had anything to do with the Hope Florida Foundation until being contacted by a reporter more than a year later. The others did not re- turn calls from the Her- ald/Times or could not be reached for comment. Hooper said past Gover- nor's Cup events have supported the First Tee Foundation, a charity that helps children team to play golf. Usually, lobby- ists pick up the tab, he said, but he recalled an ant that the St. Joannouncement hcCo.,which owns the resort, paid for the rooms. The St. Joe Community Foundation donated S200,000 to the charity five weeks later. State ethics laws require lawmakers and state offi- cials, such as Uthmeier and Weida, to report gifts they receive from state - created charities to the Commission on Ethics. But first, the charity is supposed to inform them of the value of the gifts by March 1. None said they received such notice. Aaron didn't answer a question about why thou notices were not sent out. Everyone should have known they were there to support a charity, said Rep. Debra Tendrich, a Democrat from Palm Beach County who runs her own nonprofit. Ten- dtich is on the House committee that investigat- ed the foundation_ "1 would never have allowed my staff, or my team or my board, to promote an event and let people leave without knowing what they were supporting," Tendrich said. "To me, this is mind - boggling " Tampa Bay Timet in- vestigative reporter Justin Garcia contributed to this report.
