Also on Monday residents will get an understanding as to why they pay this man – Ron Book – $45,000 per year. The lobbyists’ contract says he provides legislative consulting services for the town before the Florida legislature, the executive branch and other governments. FloridaPolitics.com reported Book took in $2.25 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 making his firm the top earner for that quarter. We will carry the Town Council meeting live on our Facebook page.
