Open Records

So the travel you most likely pay for is none of your business? Would you allow a subordinate in a business to refuse to disclose their schedule to you? That second question is valid as the governor is subordinate to the voters of Florida.

Not the point. As a matter of security I wouldn't necessarily release my schedule in advance either. Account for it, audit it, but there is absolutely no need to disclose it in advance.

E-mails are not read by the general public in real time so nothing would be disclosed. I believe Local is suggesting that for audit purposes all government business should be done using government e-mails.

Completely agree on the email side for sure.

We've had a problem in this state with people who are supposed to be operating in the Sunshine using private e-mail to conduct public business that should be viewable under public records laws. So yeah, let a neutral third party examine the private e-mails and then release ones, if any, that do discuss the state government's business.

I agree completely on the e-mails. Just not so sure about the schedules.

Oops, just found all these private emails, where's Representative Gaetz and his crusade for open records?

Shortly after he's been reelected. Way to go Florida, you got what you deserved with skeletor.

Guess Gov. Scott doesn't plan on making any changes with regards to Government in the Sunshine. Can't believe the open records folks aren't raising all kinds of hell on this. Where is Representative Gaetz's in this matter?

Senator Gaetz or his boy Rep. Matt Gaetz?

Representative Matt Gaetz, Senator Gaetz is a Senator. Representative Gaetz was involved in a sunshine law violation lawsuit in Walton County.

Big deal. The Sunshine Law is a joke and all politicians break laws. Presidents break laws too. Obama broke the law with some of his appointments and Republican presidents have broken laws.
