Judge orders North Port and former commissioner to produce records in Sunshine Law suit
NORTH PORT – The city of North Port and former City Commissioner Chris Hanks have been given 10 days to provide public records asked for in a Sunshine Law suit filed by city resident Stephanie Gibson, or show cause why they cannot.
Circuit Judge Andrea McHugh issued the show cause order Tuesday.
That clock, however, has not yet started.
North Port City Attorney Amber Slayton said in an email forwarded through city spokesman Josh Taylor that the city is aware of the suit through other means but “the City and Mr. Hanks have not received service of process on this case or the referenced order.”
