Civitas details hard to find
A local activist complained to the state ethics commission Monday that the Tampa Housing Authority attorney has denied him public documents about a downtown redevelopment plan.Posted by Norwood at January 7, 2004 07:26 AMTerrance Neal of Temple Crest said attorney Ricardo Gilmore has stonewalled requests for maps and other papers regarding the Civitas company's plan to replace public housing with private development.
Gilmore said Tuesday that he is not the ``custodian of records'' designated by the housing authority to respond to such requests.
The ethics commission keeps complaints confidential unless the agency finds probable cause to investigate. Penalties include fines, suspension or removal from office.
