OUR OPINION ‘Compromise’ not good enough on public notices

wo bills now circulating in the state Capitol pose a real threat to your right to know T what your government is up to at any given moment. The Senate version is straightforward. It would end the requirement that public government notic- es — of tax hikes, onerous new regulations and anything else you can imagine — be published in your local newspaper. Instead, they could be tucked away on a government website as some bureaucrat sees fit. The House version was the same until it ran into a little snag and underwent revision. The new version says that poorer counties — like ours — only need to show that broadband internet is not widely accessible in order to keep printing their notices in the paper. (And online. Please note that when public notices appear in your ILLIBERAL LIBERALS local newspaper, they are also published, by the paper, on a free website accessible to all, floridapub- licnotices.com.) But this “compromise” version of the bill is vague on the particulars and leaves a lot to the discretion Barr was right, left was wrong of local officials.
