Winter Park withheld public report on historic preservation
Don’t trust Winter Park City Hall.
That’s the loud-and-clear message I received last week.
I asked city staff for a document that should have been made public to anyone who asked.
That’s the way access to public records — a right enshrined in Florida’s Constitution — is supposed to work. Not just for reporters and columnists but for anyone in the public, including Winter Park residents who are intensely interested in what their government is doing about preserving historic structures.
But it didn’t work that way.
