Judge rules in favor of North Port in Sunshine Law suit
NORTH PORT – North Port resident Stephanie Gibson said Wednesday that she will file 42 separate public records requests to receive recordings of the investigation into the conduct of former North Port City Manager Peter Lear, after a circuit court judge declined to compel the city to release the information.
When Gibson initially filed her request for the 42 recordings, the city estimated that it would cost $1,347.50 for the city to go through the interviews and redact private information, be it Social Security numbers or health opinions that may violate HIPPA laws.
