There's an article on HISTORIC CITY NEWS that raises righteous questions about Rep. Travis Hutson, a developer's 25 year old son (the same developer who elected Rachael Bennett, also known as {riscilla Bennett, to the County Commission in St. Johns County.
If HCN is correct, HB 599 would add yet another exemption to our Florida Open Records laws, which already have too many exemptions.
We need fewer exemptions. Rep. Hutston needs to explain precisely why he wants license plate reader records exempt.
Good point!
Article I, Section 24 of our Florida Constitution was adopted by vote of the people in 1992 -- 83% voted in favor, or more than 3.8 million people.
Democrats and Republicans in Tallahasse are pestered y lobbyists to enact exemptions to our Open Records laws, and other special interest provisions.
A former Tallahassee lobbyist once told me the difference between Democrats and Republicans in Tallahasee: "The Democrats want the money in a paper sack. The Republicans want it in a briefcase."
