Who is M. Christopher Lyon? Lobbyist Obstructs Investigation of Florida Mosquito Control Association, Inc.

I am proud of the Anastasia Mosquito Control District Commission of St. Johns County.

In a unanimous June 11, 2020 vote, our local mosquito control commission in St. Johns County, united with other districts, has cut off sustaining member dues to the Florida Mosquito Control Association over longstanding, chronic and acute concerns about finances and ethics.  

The current President of the Florida Mosquito Control Association lives in the middle of Alabama.  This nonresident FMCA President is DONNIE POWERS, a marketer of malathion for FMC Corporation.  POWERS has slashed educational efforts and co-signed a paranoid letter attacking dissenters as "enemies."  

The mendacious FMC Corporation malathion marketer, who resides in Alabama, attacks dissenters, who include government employees and elected officials. 

Dozens of FMCA members have requested a special meeting to oust the top three officers.  

Full disclosure: I am a new member of FMCA. I am a candidate for AMCD, seat 5.

FMCA takes government funds to lobby for government agencies, but its current Board hides behind a vile veil of secrecy and smears.  On August 22, 2020, FMCA's current Board 

Meanwhile, a  louche lobbyist is engaged in massive resistance to accountability.  

I look forward to speaking with him about his evasions of information requests.

I have requested he join me in a conference call with Assistant Attorney General Pat Gleason.

The louche lobbyist can't figure out whether his client is the association, or its control group.

His name is MARTIN CHRISTOPHER LYON, an FSU law graduate whose Florida legislature list of lobbying clients boggles the mind:  

His Lewis, Longman & Walker website shows his law firm's blurred ethical lines, stating:

Mr. Lyon’s practice focuses on representing his clients’ interests before the Florida Legislature, Governor and Cabinet, and agency personnel. He represents statewide associations, local government entities and corporations with interests in the fields of health care, technology, economic development, transportation, environment and land use.

AREAS OF PRACTICE

  • Serves as LLW’s primary lobbyist for most of its clients with a financial interest in the legislative process and has proven track record of securing the annual appropriation of millions of State dollars to fund programs of interest to LLW’s clients.

  • Represents clients before legislative and executive branches of government, agencies, cabinet, legislative and gubernatorial commissions.

  • Represents health care professionals in licensure and disciplinary matters before the various professional boards.
