The State Attorney’s Office issued the following press release:
My office has recently received several inquiries, concerns, and allegations that communications between some of the Escambia County Commissioners which required public notice may have been improper.
The Florida Sunshine Law is an important tool for ensuring transparency and accountability in government. It helps to protect the public’s right to know and to participate in the decision-making process. Open government is the core of our democratic principles.
My office will be reviewing the allegations we have received, including all available government communications, to determine if further investigationis warranted.
Our office will not be issuing any further statements on this matter at this time.
