Mayor Lauren Poe and other city officials in this college town spent part of their day on July 18 exchanging emails about proposed development projects, replying to resident complaints, discussing changes to local laws and more.

These laws and their expansion in Florida could be a boon to the investigation of cows, specifically those who can’t stop sperging about politics. Rat Kings in particular come to mind. It wouldn’t be surprising if many more Florida cities adopt such statutes; one of the main reason the “Florida Man” meme exists is because of the state’s comprehensive so-called “Sunshine Law” regarding the open access and preservation of public records.

Unfortunately nobody exceptional or humorous (or exceptionally humorous) - and presently in Gainesville - immediately comes to mind

This could be so good but I think they've deliberately broken the search functionality, you have to manually browse through individual commissioner's emails and the date filtering doesn't even work on that. I wanted to find out what they had to say about the cassowary killing and a few other events from a couple years back but I guess not. In the absence of search functionality all you can do is click on individual angry rants at random.

Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.

This IS Florida and a government agency we're talking about, we're lucky they can find the outlet to plug their servers into.
