Comm. Fisher and Ms England,
If you will review the Public Records Request I sent to Ms England on Oct
6, 2011, I did NOT request Ms England to forward to me the e-mail she forwarded
to rupe. I DID request the following from Ms England:
"1) Copy of the PRR in WHATEVER FORM it exists, from rupe to you for the
e-mail from me to the BOCC dated Sep. 7, 2011.
"2) Copy of any invoice given rupe for the time/effort spent to do the PRR
for the Sep. 7, 2011 e-mail.
"3) Copy of "standing order" PRR from rupe that requests that any e-mails
from Linda McKinney to the BOCC or Brevard County in general be forwarded to
rupe; and date of commencement of "standing order".
"4) Any bills or invoices associated with such a request."
----- Close quote
I requested Ms England send the Public Records Request "from
YOUR computer, from YOUR files." I STILL request a COPY of the PRR that
rupe submitted to the D1 office that would have given Ms England the
instruction to forward my e-mail to rupe. I request it whether it be in the form
of an e-mail, fax, memo, notes taken from a voice conversation, personal
reminder, calendar event, sticky note, fly's wings, whether it's written in gum
on the bottom of a shoe, I request to physically see a copy of the Public
Records Request rupe submitted that got her the e-mail all this hassle has been
about. It is my RIGHT under FL SS 119 to receive it
and I WILL receive it one way or another, or there will be an admission made
that there was no PRR and that Ms England acted without such a request.
Unfortunately, IF this be the case, she either acted in the interests of
rupe, performing a personal favor for rupe, and then trying to hide the fact via
not responding to my Public Records Request that I sent to all Commissioners'
offices simultaneously. This is the second PRR request for a copy of rupe's
request. FL SS 119 is perfectly clear as to what should happen. Denying me only
endangers your careers. Do not delay.
To those who were unaware (those who have not read my website page), I hand
delivered to D1's office a Public Records Request that read:
------------------ Public Records Request Delivered Oct. 4, 2011 to
D1:
"FLORIDA CONSTITUTION
"PREAMBLE
"We, the people of the State of
Florida, being grateful to Almighty God for our constitutional liberty, in order

possession of real property by aliens ineligible for citizenship may be

have the right of access to public records for the purpose of making
photographs of the record while such record is in the possession, custody, and

resources or extensive clerical or supervisory assistance by personnel of the
agency involved, or both, the agency may charge, in addition to the actual cost
of duplication, a special service charge, which shall be reasonable and shall be
based on the cost incurred for such extensive use of information technology
resources or the labor cost of the personnel providing the service that is
actually incurred by the agency or attributable to the agency for the clerical
and supervisory assistance required, or both.
"FL SS 119 REQUEST:
"Under the Florida State Constitution
and under FL SS 119, I request that from now on EVERY e-mail that is received
at your office from Maureen Elizabeth Rupe, born August 2 1944, of 7185 Bright
Ave., Port St. John, FL 32927, no matter what e-mail address it originates
from, be immediately forwarded to myself, Linda McKinney, at
mckinney6025@bellsouth.net in its entirety without deletion, correction, or
omission.
"Since Maureen Elizabeth Rupe has apparently received this
service, under the FL Constitution, I demand and have the right to the same
service under the law.
"Thank you for your obedience to the
law.
"Linda McKinney"
---------- End of Public Records
Commissioners, as you can see, as of October 4, 2011, I have a standing PRR
with the D1 office. I submit the same request to all offices now. To make it a
more formal request, I shall send the same request separately to each office
(just to satisfy protocol).
I remind Comm.. Fisher of our meeting soon after he was sworn in:
“I
do solemnly swear that I will support, protect, and defend the Constitution and
Government of the United States and of the state of Florida: that I am duly
qualified to hold office under the Constitution of the state; and that I will
well and faithfully perform the duties of (…office) on which I am now about
to enter, So help me God.”
Apparently, in your office, this part of the Florida Constitution is
not applicable:
"PREAMBLE
"We, the people of the State of Florida, being grateful to
Almighty God for our constitutional liberty, in order to secure its benefits,
perfect our government, insure domestic tranquility, maintain public order, and
guarantee equal civil and political rights
to all, do ordain and establish this constitution.
"SECTION 1. --
Political power.- All political power is inherent in the people. The
enunciation herein of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or impair
others retained by the people.
"SECTION 2. -- Basic rights.- All
natural persons, female and male alike, are equal before the law and have inalienable
rights, among which are the right to enjoy and defend life and liberty, to
pursue happiness, to be rewarded for industry, and to acquire, possess and
protect property; except that the ownership, inheritance, disposition and
possession of real property by aliens ineligible for citizenship may be
regulated or prohibited by law. No person shall be deprived of any right
because of race, religion, national origin, or physical
disability.
In
that meeting, Comm. Fisher, you ate candy, played with the candy wrappers
and generally let me know you were disinterested in the proof I was offering you
that your staff -- England and Lackovitch specifically -- had ignored
FL SS 119 on a previous occasion and that it should NOT be allowed to happen
again. You said that it wouldn't happen again on your watch. Well, here we are.
It has happened again and you, Fisher, have no candy wrappers to hide
behind. You have allowed your staff to run the show, and you have been put into
an untenable position because of their actions. Don't you feel all that power
you have within your own office? Must be so heady!
So,
Commissioner England, I request my Public Records
Request be delivered immediately. Thank your staff for me for their cooperation.
I'm sure D1 is in good hands with you.
Sincerely,
Linda McKinney
