* Secret government: A slew of new exemptions to public records laws would expand secrecy and keep Floridians in the dark. Lawmakers want to throw a blanket of secrecy over the searches for the presidents of all 12 state universities and 28 state colleges (SB 774) until a finalist or finalists are chosen. They also want to keep secret the addresses and phone numbers of legislators and Cabinet members (SB 832), as well as judicial assistants and county attorneys. Closing the curtains on who controls — or wants to control — government institutions will only further undermine public trust.
