Again… a Sunshine violation would only apply is if there was another City Commission member present – or – if it can be proven that one of the attendees acted as a intermediary and shared the information with another Commission member or members. Notwithstanding proof that either of the above circumstances existed, this would not classify as a violation of the Government in the Sunshine Act.

Unethical – perhaps… questionable – indeed… shady – yep… stupid – absolutely… damaging to his campaign – likely, if used properly by his opponent

The only “sweeping ethics” improvements the mayor claims to have made are under the rug. I believe he should file a complaint against himself.

While driving down Pedrick Road my gun bounced off the seat off my truck because of all the potholes. My point is this. Fix the roads before we spend a million dollars on an issue that money can’t solve. More fathers and mothers teaching their kids right and wrong.

2. Lobbyists registered with the city
3. Contributors to the Mayors campaign
4. People who stand to gain from the city expenditures
5. Friends of or contributors to other city commissioners

The ethics complaint will be filed by an individual either at the request of Dozier or on the own accord of the individual filing the complaint.
The outcome of the complaint with the Ethics Commission is totally irrelevant because the cloud of the complaint filing will hang over Dailey like a never dissapating fart cloud.
Dailey really made an awfull political error by holding that secret meeting in his home at this time in the election process. Dailey really stepped in it and Dozier would be a fool not to ensure that complaint is filed.

This is the leg up Dozier needs to take the prize and overcome her own stinky cloud regarding her nefarious real estate dealings with convicted criminal and prison occupant J T Burnett.

Florida has had a Sunshine Law since the 60s. A law that makes nearly all state, county, city, municipal, and/or commission meeting open to the public. There are few exception, and state law is careful to insist that “An exemption may be created, revised, or maintained only if it serves an identifiable public purpose, and the exemption may be no broader than is necessary to meet the public purpose it serves”.

Meeting at someone’s house to be able to chat while watching a ball game over a couple of beers is not a public purpose.
