Florida Politics reports: 

Attorney General James Uthmeier announced Tuesday he is subpoenaing Vero Beach Vice Mayor Linda Moore for an event she was involved in at a local wine bar, Kilted Mermaid. On June 29, the Pride Tea Dance took place at the establishment and featured drag queen performances, with the event’s promotion stating, “Pride is back baby, with a twist of tradition,” as detailed on the bar’s Instagram account.

Uthmeier, in a press release on Tuesday, said, “There is evidence” that Moore promoted the performance on social media and indicated “all ages welcome.” Uthmeier said the event showcased “sexualized performers in front of children, in violation of Florida law.” Moore is the co-owner of Kilted Mermaid. “In Florida, we don’t sacrifice the innocence of children for the perversions of some demented adults,” said Uthmeier.

From Uthmeier’s press release:

Attorney General Uthmeier issued subpoenas to Moore and Kilted Mermaid seeking: Any and all surveillance video recordings; Any associated logs, notes, or documents identifying camera locations, retention policies, or personnel responsible for maintaining said recordings;

Copies of any and all employee work schedules showing which employees were working on the dates of June 28, 2025, to June 30, 2025; Copies of any and all contracts, agreements, invoices, or other documents identifying performers, DJs, entertainers, or independent contractors who performed or provided entertainment on the premises on June 29, 2025;

Copies of any guest lists, reservation logs, ticket sales records, entry logs or other documents identifying who attended the performance; Documents identifying all security personnel, door staff, or any individuals responsible for checking identification, verifying age, controlling admission, or allowing entry on June 29, 2025;

Copies of all written policies, procedures, training manuals, or guidelines in effect on June 29, 2025, regarding age verification, admission policies, security screening, and ID checks. Moore and Kilted Mermaid are required to produce the necessary documents by August 8, 2025, at 9:00 a.m.

Uthmeier is DeSantis’s former chief of staff and personally approved what Democrats say was the theft of $10 million in Medicaid funds.
