The Herald/Times asked to be briefed by the governor’s tax and investment advisers but were denied an interview. Earlier this week, the newspapers then supplied detailed written questions, as well as copies of related documents, to the governor’s lawyers. General Counsel Pete Antonacci said they distributed the questions to the financial experts but were unable to provide a response by the end of the day on Friday.

....Under Scott, the new governor’s transition documents were destroyed for the first time in modern history. The governor’s staff encouraged the use of private email and cell phone accounts to avoid creating public-records trails. And Scott’s lawyers have changed the way public records are retained and handled by staffers, creating new barriers to transparency.
SOLANTIC SALE

Scott’s tight-lipped approach has long been a hallmark, extending to his days when he headed the Columbia/HCA hospital chain and then a chain of 32 walk-in clinics he founded called Solantic. In repeated depositions, Scott would refuse to answer basic questions. On the campaign trail in 2010, Scott also refused to comment on depositions he gave, such as one in a Solantic case that he settled just before filing to run for office. Scott’s refusal to release the deposition became a major campaign issue in the GOP primary and the general election.
