Comments on: Chamber Taps Outzen To Head Sunshine Law Task Force http://www.northescambia.com/2013/07/chamber-taps-outzen-to-head-sunshine-law-task-force Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Sun, 05 Apr 2026 17:56:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Slack Jawed Bystander http://www.northescambia.com/2013/07/chamber-taps-outzen-to-head-sunshine-law-task-force/comment-page-1#comment-216635 Slack Jawed Bystander Wed, 17 Jul 2013 11:21:57 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=145540#comment-216635 An interesting choice since we've heard nothing from Outzen about Chamber noncompliance in the past. He's performed his usual downtown cheerleader job and we can assume that'll continue in this role. Even PNJ only recently jumped on board - and we have to wonder about their motives since they appear to be targeting outgoing Chamber President Jim Hizer, who removed a number of GOB leeches from the public teat. Funny that for years and years both Outzen and the daily rag ignored numerous gifts of information from Jerry Couey and Deborah Nelson regarding Chamber noncompliance. Couey and Nelson spent, again years, pursuing the same Sunshine problem with TEAM Santa Rosa until they forced a resolution, while Outzen and daily rag management sniffed in outrage. And Outzen is of course famous for his sniveling support of the Maritime Park and before that, Rebuild Northwest Florida's lack of transparency. Now all of a sudden he and the rag's people want to get involved? Something's fishy. An interesting choice since we’ve heard nothing from Outzen about Chamber noncompliance in the past.

Rick has done a great job of exposing the mistakes of those in power and will make sure everything that the chamber does is in the light of sunshine. Good move Sandy!
