Thanks puff. What the hell happened to Florida's
sunshine laws? We are seeing things the likes of which I would never have imagined (except I unfortunately do).
"The Supreme Court gave the state until 5 p.m. Monday to reply to the petition."
Note that the Chair, Brecht Heuchan, of the drafting comm which tabled in May is also the co-sponsor of both the anti-vaping and anti-drilling measures. Now of course in a glut of oil from domestic production we naturally are overwhelmed with oil co's trying to drill here. That's why the funny papers are filled with histrionic headlines on the topic. So this has nothing to do with vaping. Nada, I tell you. By the by, this guy's on the
Ethics and Elections comm as well. All the doorstops. Can you beat that?
It's clear to me we do need a constitutional amendment — that the CRC abide by the same public disclosure and access requirements as any other committee. My reasoned expectation is that
they are bound, simply out of order and absent the authority.
Then this is just another effort just like at the fed level to skirt the need for lawful
definition which would impossibly equate vaping with smoking. Such efforts have failed in FL in the past. This however would set a constitutional benchmark negating the state legislature's preemptive authority, at least on this aspect of tobacco issues. And in practice, relegating potentially an unfettered authority to whom? Every and any jurisdiction right down to your condo board? Who can predict what ultimate
law might ensue to conflate the private vs. communal property interest.
Now to find out how this plays out going forward. There was a time long ago when I was more familiar with FLSC's procedures. These days any help or advice would be appreciated.
Good luck.
HAHAHAHAHA
