Governor and Cabinet to Hire Attorney

March 24th, 2015 by Mike Vasilinda

The Governor and three Cabinet members all have private attorneys representing them in a law suit brought by media groups alleging they violated open meetings laws when the former head of the Dept of Law Enforcement was forced from office. Today, taking pains not to violate the same law, they agreed to search for a private attorney to represent all four as a group. Attorney General Pam Bondi will lead the search effort.

“We are all named defendants in separate law suits, and we are all represented by our general counsels.”

The group will hold a conference call next Tuesday to choose a lawyer. They authorized spending up to $50,000.The public will be allowed to listen to the call.
