If the records requested are public, they should be provided, without hesitation or concern about the requester’s motives. The Senate language invites agen- cies to speculate whether they could get away with arguing that a particular records request was made frivolously, when they should be focusing on compli- ance. There’s a better solution. Barbara Petersen, presi- dent of Florida’s First Amendment Foundation, sug- gests the state should set up a clearinghouse for records disputes. Citizens whose records requests are denied could be required to request intervention from that office before filing suit, she said. Similar agencies are working well in other states. Such an agency could prove a legitimate stumbling block for gadflies and attorneys who abuse the public- records process, while providing advocates for citizens whose legitimate requests are stymied. If lawmakers are serious about preserving access, that’s the course to follow. — Daytona Beach News-Journal

There are 56 apartments that can accommodate up to 82 residents, Hart said. But vintage care also boasts an abundance of common space, a beauty salon, barbershop, movie theater, library and therapy center, she said. There are also nurses available at all hours, Hart said. Vintage Care is close to Putnam Community Medical Center, other medical facilities and numerous stores, she said, so residents will not go wanting. “We’re convenient to the hospital,” Hart said. “We’re convenient to shop- ping. We’re trying to make it where they’re comfortable and they don’t have to go out for many things. “When the families come in, they don’t have to worry about how Mom is doing.” Although Hart said the facility isn’t slated to open until some time within the next 30 days, its neighbors are already excited for what is to come. The Vintage Care building was once the site of another assisted living facili- ty, Arlington House, a source of contro- versy in Palatka. Many of Arlington House’s residents suffered from mental illnesses and caused countless disruptions at nearby churches, schools, businesses and other locations.
