"Wave of Florida Officials Resign Amid Stricter Financial Disclosure Requirements"

Coler's reluctance to reveal his financial details raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest in his decision-making as a public servant. The law aims to enhance transparency and may lead to a "clean house" by prompting the resignation of those who are unwilling to disclose their finances.
