The possible illegal campaign contributions by the Pensacola Port Users Association could lead to certain city council candidates being charged with misdemeanor crimes. In Florida, it is illegal for candidates to solicit campaign contributions from non-profit organizations.
If the Port of Pensacola Users Association is indeed registered with the IRS as 501(3)(c) non-profit organization and the candidates asked the group for campaign contributions, then the law has been broken.
Big oops.
