you know, I'm sure, Barreiro being a former legislator, wants only the same sunshine law that the state legislature has and functions with. The rules for state legislators are much loose than the rules THEY set for local governments. It prohibits discussions between commissioners 100%. it's foolish. The proposal doesn't limit community input same as the legislatures loose version of sunshine laws doesn't.
If you ever sat in on one of these private meetings between politicians you would know at once how dangerous they are to the electorate. My only problem with Jim DeFede is that he always beats me to the punch, resulting in my not writing. He is a fearless champian of the people and the Miami Herald lost 50% of its power when they let him go.
Mensa: Ditto on DeFede...but he is great with these TV film clips and they reach more people...no one reads anymore. I also agree, the county commission is bad enough in the sunshine...
the county commission needs term limits if they expect to be treated like real political officials. I understand the thought about the sunshine rules for the state legislature but we need to reign in the commission, they are out of control.
The commission now has these nifty little meetings called "sunshine meetings". They have someone send out emails noticing the meetings which occur between 2 commissioners in the second floor confernence room. I wonder what they would do if you or I actually showed up at one... after all, they are public noticed meetings...

Give Bruno a break. This pesky sunshine law is making it hard for him to get his frequent direction from Natacha, Poor Bruno.
