MANATEE COUNTY, FL A complaint filed with the Florida Commission on Ethics targets Manatee County Commissioner Vanessa Baugh for her role in a pop-up vaccine clinic held Feb. 17-19 in Lakewood Ranch for residents of two of the county s wealthiest ZIP codes.
Baugh, the representative of District 5, which includes Lakewood Ranch, selected the ZIP codes for the state-run event, and also created a VIP list of five people to receive the vaccine at the event and told the county s Public Safety Director, Jacob Sauer, to add their names to the list of those being vaccinated at the pop-up clinic. The list included Baugh and Lakewood Ranch president and CEO Rex Jensen, though Baugh didn t receive the vaccine.
