We have been thinking about how corrupt our Hardee County leadership is. How they fight us every step of the way in getting to the truth. They fight us on public records requests. SOE Diane Smith went so far as to violate FL public records laws and ultimately agreed to a one year ‘Pre-Filing Deferred Prosecution Contract’ from State Attorney Brian Haas office. IDA Director Bill Lambert filed a lawsuit against former IDA Board member Donald Samuels and Henry Kuhlman claiming ‘confusion’ about public records laws rather than provide the public records they requested. The Director claimed confidentiality over the CareSync records that ended up with another lawsuit to gain access to them.
Our leaders are never forthcoming with the truth. They hide behind claims of confidentiality. They plead ignorance. They ignore our questions. They make every effort to portray us as the bad guys.
So…….. if the information we do manage to get our hands on is this bad…. Can you imagine how bad what we’re not seeing is? That’s a scary thought isn’t it?
