TALLAHASSEE — E-mails on Gov. Rick Scott's BlackBerry may have been lost in another technological mix-up inside his office, newly released records show.

Scott and his staff have acknowledged that his account and about 50 others from his two-month transition — a crucial stretch after Election Day when key hires are made and a first-year policy agenda is shaped — were lost when a contract lapsed with a private company that stored the e-mail data. Scott also lost about 50 e-mails from his iPad when a staffer inside his office updated software for the device.

Now it's a BlackBerry.

.....

Scott's spokesman confirmed the events and stressed that Scott did not delete any e-mails. Scott's office has acknowledged that missing transition e-mails may violate state public record laws.

It looks like Rick Scott just doesn't care if we see his criminality. We are just "the little people".

State Sen. Mike Fasano's request for public records draws $10,750.13 invoice. September 30, 2011

When state Sen. Mike Fasano requested records about a $125 million pension fund investment, the head of the State Board of Administration sent him a three-page invoice for $10,750.13.

"The cost to the Florida Retirement System (FRS) for satisfying your inquiry using original documents is estimated to exceed $10,000," SBA chief Ash Williams wrote, "and completion of the associated legal process will likely take months."

Stunned, Fasano fired back with a letter to the SBA trustees: Gov. Rick Scott, Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater and Attorney General Pam Bondi.

"I do not want to accuse anyone of attempting to hide anything… '' wrote Fasano, R-New Port Richey. "However, when a $10,000 bill is sent with a warning that it could take months to supply the information requested, a reasonable person could perceive that perhaps something is in fact being hidden."

Anyone else see a pattern here?




Impeachment is too lenient for this criminal.

6. Wait.

Am I reading this correctly?? - emails for some 50 email addresses belonging to a candidate for GOVERNOR and eventual winner of a state Governors election were just "poofed" when the freaking contract (some paperwork) lapsed -- and so the private company deleted the emails? What? They were contracted to store data, and the contract did not stipulate that the data belongs to the consumer and cannot be deleted without written warning - if not, that is the worst contract for data storage ever written. And we can assume that the contract did not stipulate that the contract should continue month to month if and when it lapsed?

THIS MUST BE THE WORST CONTRACT FOR EMAIL STORAGE EVER WRITTEN and heads should roll.

And this "private company" that stored the email data does not keep backups on servers or on tape that could be subpoenaed now? So this private company is in the storage business or some type of IT firm and YET they somehow did not have a disaster recover plan and backups? What's the name of this company?

THIS PRIVATE COMPANY MUST BE THE WORST EXAMPLE OF IT GUYS/GALS IN THE BUSINESS.

I do not buy any of this for a second, and if the investigators buy it, they are just stupid. Those emails are on a server somewhere -- guarantee it. But "private company" isn't just going to give them up.

8. E-mails NEVER EVER NEVER get lost!

The stupid user just can't find them. Even if they were erased from his hard drive, they are somewhere in the cloud.

[caveat_imperator]

9. Yup.

They'll be found. Hopefully soon and hopefully on WikiLeaks so everyone can see them.

10. Oh haha. Now we know where to look for the bodies.

He's such an idiot and his day is coming.

[wilt the stilt]

11. It the same exact way that he wasn't indicted

for his HCA involvement. He knows how to get rid of data so he can't be caught. Like the poster before said those email are out there.
