BCbythesea is still concerned with the advice given by the new Town Attorney at the Sunshine Law Workshop… a few weeks ago…
Mr. Abbott said that a Commissioner or Board member could have one way communication…
speak …email or phone another member …..if they first prefaced it by….”do not respond”….
as long as the recipient does not respond ….it is not sunshine…
I have asked another attorney…
The response was…he thinks this is bad advice…
I would prevail upon the Commission and Town Hall to get a ruling on this from the Sunshine Law Ethics expert in Tallahassee…before any sitting members violate a Sunshine law if this is not correct information…
better to be safe…. in my humble opinion….
