Florida's State Senate is stonewalling me on:
- its SLAPP litigation against EEOC,
- its $900,000 settlement and unknown cost of legal defense and SLAPP litigation,
- JACK LATVALA's, its disgraced former Appropriations Committee Chair and his open, notorious sexual harassment of women in the Capitol and private clubs.
So I asked Governor Ron DeSantis, the State Library and Information Services Director, Amy Johnson, State Senate President William Galvano and Senator Travis Hutson for help.
Still waiting for records requested one week ago.

Dear Ms. Perez:
1. The Florida State Senate's delay is disdainful and disrespectful to the public's constitutional Right to Know, voted by 83% of Florida voters in Article I, Sec. 24, Florida Constitution.
2. Please send documents. Now.
3. As James Madison wrote, "Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."
4. Please call me today to discuss.
5. Please include "Request No. 2019-6: Florida State Senate $900,000 EEOC sexual harassment and retaliation settlement in Rachel Perrin Rogers v. State Senator Jack Latvala, et al." in the title of all e-mails and correspondence.
Thank you.
