The lawmaker who sponsored the state's controversial 'Don't Say Gay' bill resigned, just two days after he was indicted for on fraud charges for allegedly acquiring tens of thousands in Covid-relief funds for inactive small businesses. Rep. Joe Harding issued a resignation letter on Thursday in which he said he was stepping down because 'I love people, and I love Florida.'Just yesterday, the Justice Department unsealed Harding's indictment, which charged him with six counts for allegedly obtaining $150,000 in relief loans for a vacuum sealer company and a working farm, both of which had been dormant for years.
