AES owner Donald Moore has been a heavy campaign contributor to local and state officials, giving $3500 to Commissioner Wilson Robertson, $2500 each to Rep. Dave Murzin and Commissioner Kevin White, and $2000 to Sheriff Ron McNesby. He made the contributions to them and others (total $26,300) through various companies he controls, such as AES, Gulf Coast Specialties, W Street Holdings, MBR of Northwest Florida and J&D Enterprises. Moore owns dozens of companies and I may not have found all of his contributions.
WEAR TV reports the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is investigating his AES, a payroll processing company, for its worthless checks. Clients have received notices that state payroll taxes haven’t been paid. And, the state attorney’s office is reviewing an unrelated complaint against Moore.
