Today’s guilty plea by former North Miami Beach Mayor Anthony DeFillipo ends a long and painful political saga for the residents of the city. Florida’s voting laws exist to ensure that our elections are an honest representation of the will of the voters. Sadly, former Mayor DeFillipo’s actions deliberately undermined that process and today was the day of reckoning. Voting is too serious a matter to allow any form of manipulation to occur. I and my public corruption prosecutors will not allow that to happen.
