Question:
Should the 60 day jail time be removed for a Public Records Violation?
Option 1: Yes
Option 2: No
At the 11/2/15 Jacksonville Ethics Commission meeting there was discussion about removing the threat of a 60 day jail term for a Public Records Violation and just make it a $500 penalty. Some Ethic Commission members felt that the 60 day jail penalty should remain. A change would require legislation to be filed and then voted on by our Jacksonville city council.
Don't be afraid to vote.

Change of personnel on the Ethics Commission? Has there been any explanation to the Public in Print, Radio, or TV media as a result of the 12/16/15 Ethics Commission meeting that what will now take place as a result of a Public Records Violation?
4 days out. Keep voting. What is the position of the Administration? Where is a front page news story in any media publication or even one quote from an Erhics Commission member?
^No worries. In Rules Tues. Only Ethics.
If I remember right, the ethic violation fines can be ignored by the politician until they eventually go away. The jail time, though I'm sure would only be applied under intense public and media pressure, at least would be an immediate thing that the memory of perhaps would not go away.
