Jeb Bush is against the public knowing - in favor of government stalling
(Not that any of us here would be surprised.)

Bush vetoes public records bill, signs key lime pie
Last Update: 6/21/2006 5:21:14 AM

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Governor Jeb Bush vetoed a bill that would have required prompt replies to public records requests while signing 37 measures into law today, including legislation making key lime Florida's official state pie.

Bush also signed laws to renew a public records exemption for autopsy photos, which originally was enacted after the death of race car driver Dale Earnhardt, and increase penalties for protests at military funerals in response to demonstrations by an anti-gay church group.

The governor wrote in his veto message that requiring officials to "promptly" reply to public records requests could require hiring additional staff, though the Legislature did not provide any money for that and it would be too disruptive.

2. No more Sunshine. Only backroom politics allowed under the Bushboys.

6. True
I remember my buddies working for the Alligator in Gaineville getting bitchslapped because they wanted the Dale Eadheart autopsy photos to see if NASCAR covered up the cause of his death and JEB! signed and executive order sealing them up, caving to the NASCAR nuts.
