Group sues Jacobs, accuses her of violating records law (Orlando)
A citizens group that successfully sued Mayor Teresa Jacobs and other Orange County leaders last year related to the so-called "textgate" scandal, filed a new lawsuit this morning that again accuses the mayor of violating Florida's public records law.
Jacobs calls the accusations "totally false."
In the current case, Organize Now says the mayor is refusing to give the group access to public documents — related to four charter amendments on the November ballot — that are in a cloud-based account called Dropbox.
"We want to know who has access to the mayor's Dropbox files, and what are its contents," said Stephanie Porta, executive director of Organize Now, as she stood outside the Orange County Courthouse moments after filing the lawsuit.
