Nice of the state to admit they just don’t have time to vet these multi-million-dollar contracts for things like, uh, crooks...

We’re still moving ahead with the @miamiherald lawsuit against @GovRonDeSantis with a new firm, Thomas & LoCicero, which has built a reputation for representing media companies fighting to get access to government records
We fully plan to file this lawsuit, thanks to @talkconlaw @TLoLawfirm - unless, of course, @RonDeSantisFL’s office agrees to release the records. @MiamiHerald @mcclatchy

We are still filing this lawsuit. Anyone with a relative in an elder care facility has the right to know if there has been a case of coronavirus.

The Herald’s lawyer Sandy Bohrer did the right thing. Despite pressure from his bosses and the state, he told us exactly what was going on. We need more people like Sandy.

This ⁦@MiamiHerald⁩ story is amazing on two levels. First, the story itself is insane. But the willingness of Sandy Bohrer to be quoted is a true profile in courage. I’ve known Sandy for years. He’s been my attorney at times. And he is a man of honor miamiherald.com/news/coronav…

Shame on ⁦@Holland_Knight⁩. When I was at ⁦@MiamiHerald⁩ I remember going to court with Sandy Bohrer to fight for transparency in government. He was terrific. H&K never flinched. How times change. Chesterfield Smith would not be proud. miamiherald.com/news/coronav…

Wow. A major lawfirm that’s represented the Miami Herald for years, Holland & Knight, just caved in to the gov and dropped a lawsuit we filed to identify elder-care sites where someone tested positive for COVID-19. We just got another law firm. miamiherald.com/news/coronav…?

We think the public ought to know which nursing and adult care homes in Florida have COVID-19 cases. @GovRonDeSantis apparently does not. Here's what his staff has done to stop it. miamiherald.com/news/coronav…
