The daily newspaper is reporting that a Leon County grand jury is convening to investigate possible Sunshine Law violations by Rep. Ray Sansom, former Speaker of the Florida House.
I think the Northwest Florida State College president, Bob Richburg, is the real culprit here. It was his responsibility to keep minutes of the March 2008 board meeting with Sansom at a private Tallahassee club. He should have made sure the opening was properly noticed and made accessible to the public.
Sen. Gaetz agrees. We talked about it at length when we stopped by the office last month.
BTW: Bob Richburg is a double-dipper. He retired in Sept. 2007 and a month later was rehired by the Board of Trustees. He is the highest paid public employee in Okaloosa County. He entered the DROP program in 10/1/02. Total retirement benefit collected: $553,228.16
