Is Sky YMCA about to take over Sarasota YMCA?
Inside information that Sky family YMCA is about to take over Sarasota YMCA. Both YMCA organizations are hurting for money, but the Sarasota branch is really in trouble. Is Knight still at the helm of this sinking ship too?

Real estate scam making big money off school vouchers
It’s complicated and it’s related to making money off school vouchers.
Key GOP players have been doing backroom deals in preparation for voucher education revenues from the State. For example, big money is made by renting land, buildings or facilities for exorbitant prices to privatized educational corporations that get their State money from school vouchers. The bulk of those State vouchers end up paying for exorbitant rental prices (for the facilities). Conversely, the privatized school staff are grossly underpaid with little job security, when compared to public school teachers. A huge portion of the voucher money is used to rent educational facilities and lands for outrages fees. That’s where the key GOP players are making their money off the vouchers. It's a legal real estate scam, albeit it's an unethical way to scam taxpayer dollars.
In this particular case, Knight is in the back pocket of key GOP personnel who are gaming the voucher system by building-out the educational facilities through the SKY YMCA corporation, in preparation for charging exorbitant rental fees. That’s why there is a huge push to build-out the educational facilities now, to receive a greater flow of incoming State vouchers.
Again, it’s complicated and Knight is caught-up in it, whether he knows it or not. However, he will be handsomely rewarded for allowing the use of the "office of sheriff" to give this financial scheme the illusion of ethical legitimacy (at his retirement because he is not running for reelection).

The school voucher concept is good, but unfortunately, certain people have devised a way of profiting off of it by stealing the lion's share of the vouchers. It's unethically ingenious and legal, but it's the children who are stolen from (in the bigger picture). Knight is entangled in that voucher mess with SKY YMCA schools Inc.

Once the following voucher Bill passes (and it will), then the SKY YMCA voucher program will be a huge money maker. Knight is in at the ground level:

YMCA making money off "Family Empowerment Scholarship" while dropping historical YMCA services
The YMCA is continuing to rapidly build expensive educational facilities to make money off of them via the new school voucher system -- while dropping non-lucrative services to the community, such as historical fitness centers.
Florida's newly created voucher is called the "Family Empowerment Scholarship" and it's the state's fifth voucher program. It's unique because it uses taxpayer money to pay private-school tuition for students whose parents make $80,000 or less a year. These "private schools" include the new ones that the YMCA is building as fast as possible (to make money off the voucher system).
It's a rigged scam in the context that select GOP personnel had their cronies begin building these school facilities before the Family Empowerment Scholarship had been passed into the law -- in order to be pre-staged, to begin making money as soon as the new voucher law was passed by the legislation.
