Press Release:
Palm Beach County Republican Party Chairman Sid Dinerstein released the following statement regarding his filing of six (6) ethics charges against Sen. Maria Sachs for serious and repeated violations of financial disclosure laws over 3-years:
“Sen. Sachs has repeatedly violated the financial disclosure laws by hiding assets and income over a 3-year period. Because of these serious violations I have filed a complaint against Sen. Sachs with the Florida Commission on Ethics seeking an investigation and finding that Sen. Sachs has violated the law. These ethics laws are some of the most important protections to an open government and were put in place so that citizens can understand what influences a legislator’s objectivity. By repeatedly flouting the requirement to fully disclose her financial interests, Maria Sachs has demonstrated her steadfast belief that the rules simply don’t apply to her. The people of Palm Beach and Broward counties deserve better than Maria Sachs.”
CHECK THE FACTS:
-In her constitutionally required financial disclosures in 2009, 2010, and 2011, Sachs failed to disclose her ownership in the Tallahassee property as required under Art. II, Sec. 8(a)(i)(1), Fla. Const. & § 112.3144, Florida Statutes. Additionally, Sen. Sachs again failed to disclose any income from the state of Florida for her employment as a state representative as required under Art. II, Sec. 8(a)(i)(1), Fla. Const. Each of these failures to disclose important information by constitute violations of the law.

Sachs is an old drunk unfit for office.
So this is all well and good. What’s her consequences?? Or does she get away with this breach of the law??
She will probably get away with it, the politicians have a way of sticking together, we tried to file a complaint with the Florida bar aganist her and it was abruptly closed with an explaination.
The article “sucks” not Sachs.
Read your article regarding Maria Sach’s and alligations of unethical behavior, I can attest 1st hand she is unethical and not to be trusted. My family and I tired to have her investigated by the Florida bar for exactly that reason, unethical behavior regarding her billing, as we fired her and Charles G White, from a case, the investigation was “abruptly” closed??. Could not believe such a cover up could be allowed and glad to know the truth about her is coming out. We are currently trying to get back funds she has admitted to having and available for refund, but to date have not heard from her despite our letters and a copy of the letter she sent to us stating we needed to request the funds.
Maria Sachs is a thief!!!
I’ve been in her company and she screws her clients, steals their money,, trys to intimidate them and makes false promises with her smooth talking in public but disrepects the legal system behind closed doors and breaks many laws herself. Her team also are the rudest group of so called legal advocates, ruthless pompous and nasty.
Well Archer, Sound like you are a disgruntled ex-employee getting your “two cents” in after the fact. Makes me wonder how long you worked there if everyone was so “nasty and pompous” and were you let go and why?
Well Captain Spaulding, I would ask you what basis is your statement? I have known Maria all her life and that statement is completely false.
Angelique, I find your comments extraordinary as The Florida Bar does not deny or cover up request lightly.
I find it interesting that comments can be made so lightly or without thought and yet “We the People” are to take what is said as FACT. You all should be ashamed of yourselves as you sound like the pack of little kids on the playground that lost the game and want to take your ball and go home.
How about looking at the important issue’s of today and see what each one of you can do to rectify the issue instead of sitting in your comfy chair and bitching.
