Florida's Governor Tried To Bury Public Records Lawsuit Like A Thug

[UCmeNdc]

The Sunshine State has Sunshine LAWS, Ron. And the Miami Herald has a right to see records of agencies funded by the taxpayers of Florida, period.

The office of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis reportedly attempted behind the scenes to crush a public records lawsuit demanding that the state release the names of all elder-care facilities in which someone has tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

"Anyone with a relative in an elder-care facility has a right to know if their loved ones are at risk so they can make an informed decision about their care."
—Aminda Marqués González, Miami Herald executive editor and publisher

The Miami Herald, the Florida newspaper behind the planned legal action, reported Saturday that DeSantis' general counsel called Holland & Knight lawyer George Meros, who has represented the state of Florida in the past, and pressured him to abandon the lawsuit after the Herald notified the state of the pending legal action, as required by law.

1. DeSantis...

He is well-educated, or educated enough to not be able to hide behind the easy out of incompetence as the GOP has been fond of using while they follow Trump's strategy that is meant to confuse the population and deflect from what the agenda is.

Thug is a good term to use. Sneaky, crafty, corrupt mobsters running a country and some states. Wow! All in broad daylight and without accountability or much in the way of reproach so far.
