On WCOA’s “Real News with Rick Outzen” this morning, Escambia County Commissioner Jeff Bergosh said the hearing scheduled for 3 p.m. today on the lawsuit regarding his stolen text messages has been delayed.
“We had it scheduled, and the judge recused,” Bergosh said. “We filed our final brief. We thought we were good to go. I was ready to go testify under oath”
He continued, “We had turned over all the public records associated with that. You see more than half of that wasn’t a public record. We’ve spent about $25,000 worth of staff time – counting resources, going back and redacting all the sensitive information was in that file. We’ve submitted that to the court, and inexplicably the judge assigned locally recused. So it’s now been reassigned to a judge over in Okaloosa County. And so we are in a holding pattern now.”
The commissioner also discussed the revised offer for OLF 8.
