Commissioner Susan Chapman was also
named as a defendant in the suit. She has not
settled, maintains her innocence and is preparing for depositions later this month in the
case.
Citizens for Sunshine filed suit in mid-October, charging that Atwell and Chapman met
without public notice with a group of downtown merchants concerned about vagrancy
and homelessness.
In another story — this one on Page 4, headlined Sarasota faced four suits in 2013 — the
Brechner Report repeated the error. "The city
and one of the commissioners admitted violating the Sunshine Law and settled," it said.
The Brechner Report did not respond by deadline this week to The Sarasota News Leader's
request for the reason for its errors. %
