A bitter public records dispute is now forcing Florida Gov. Rick Scott to dip into his own pocket, and may force him to testify on his own behalf before next month’s election.

Tallahassee attorney Steven R. Andrews, who clashed with Scott even before he took office, wants information on private Google email accounts that he says were used by the Scott administration to sidestep state law. A Florida judge sided with Andrews, but now Scott has hired lawyers to fight the request in California.

Lawyers for the governor filed notice for a Nov. 7 hearing, three days after the election, in which they are asking a judge to quash a subpoena sought by Andrews.

On Monday, Andrews served the governor with notice to appear in a Santa Clara County courtroom for the Nov. 7 hearing and called for the governor to appear in a videotape deposition in Tallahassee on Oct. 28 about his [e-mail] account.
