Domino files bill to investigate $20 million deal for Port St. Lucie animation company
by Michael C. Bender | December 2nd, 2009The proposal from Rep. Carl Domino, R-Jupiter, would require the Joint Legislative Auditing Committee to investigate the application for an economic incentive package that Wyndcrest Holdings submitted to Gov. Charlie Crist’s office.
Wyndcrest owns Digital Domain, a special effects company that has won awards for its work but also lost millions of dollars in 2008. It’s application is not considered a public record.
The bill would require the committee to review the vetting process from Crist’s Office of Tourism, Trade and Economic Development and determine whether the office’s questions “were answered truthfully.”
Domino hopes the legislature will take up the bill during a special session devoted to passenger rail issues scheduled to start Thursday. At this point, he would need a unanimous vote from the House and Senate to waive the rules and take up the bill.

So Domino loses money in a deal and then tries to pull this move ? Don’t think so.
