FLORIDA – Threats to permit governments to post legal notices online have been renewed for the 2010 legislative session. And it appears the bill’s sponsor, Sen. Dean is more than happy to attack newspapers in the process:
“But he conceded the legislation could hurt Florida newspapers, including his hometown Chronicle.
‘If it does, it is what it is,’ Dean said. ‘The motivation for this is to save money. But if it trims their feathers a bit, fine.’”
