TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A nonprofit government watchdog group has filed a lawsuit alleging Gov. Ron DeSantis and his staff violated the state public records law for failing to produce documents and other material it requested related to two flights relocating migrants from Texas to Massachusetts.
It comes days after the governor’s office released a handful of records related to the Martha’s Vineyard flights in response to several requests from media outlets, including the Orlando Sentinel and other organizations.
But they don’t come close to the full scope of records requested by the Florida Center for Government Accountability, said Michael Barfield, director of public access for the FGCA.
