Florida’s Great Northwest - Not in Sunshine?

This is an alarming situation if true:

"We are not suggesting that Florida’s Great Northwest doesn’t play a vital role in this region’s economic development efforts. But here’s the reality: It’s hard to tell how vital a role the organization plays when the only view citizens get is the view that Florida’s Great Northwest is willing to allow." for editorial see:http://www.nwfdailynews.com/opinion/...northwest.html

Here's the link for the article that I saw on a friends twitter feed. Thanks Wrobert for finding this.

Does Florida's Great Northwest fall under Sunshine Law? | members, include, development - News - The News Herald

It brings to light the issue of private orginizations using public funds, but not being under the sunshine laws.
