IT’S IN THEIR HANDS NOW …
Dear Readers…At last night’s Comm. meeting the tally was that most of the newly appointed members to the Town Boards will be attending this evening’s workshop with the Commission…In light of this writer’s own brush with false accusations of Sunshine violations a few years back (2007)..I encourage all board members to attend and for all know they have “protection” from the Town via the FLOCities Attys. if need be…I also ask that you new members be smart …don’t let a “gotcha” happen to you by answering a “reply to all” e-mail which may include unknown recipients who are on the same board….that results in orchestrated, trumped up charges against you and racking up time spent clearing the situation up while the the instigators watch from the sidelines with such glee…That is until it all plays out and you are vindicated in the fact that there was no violation in the first place!…Same goes for social situations… easier to “Talk to the hand” and politely get away from any encounter that might come back to bite you!… Tonight’s explanations will be much more professional and full of “legal-eze” but you all get the jest of it.. keep records, e-mails…..keep notes and watch your backs! ….
