My response was that perhaps the Appellate decision is not the deciding factor regarding restitution since both supervisors were replaced. Only one was tried for perjury. Fact is, that both violated the Sunshine law and both initially denied the accusation. Both were in violation. Neither was innocent of the infraction. The recent Appellate decision didn't absolve anything regarding their initial violation.

That is why I think the POA was wrong to suggest restitution is appropriate.

I do not expect a retraction of the POA opinion, but at the same time I do not expect to see taxpayer money provided to the two individuals.

Time will tell if the POA was right or wrong. However, I find that the POA is better at criticizing others than admitting their own errors.

Note, my original point was the potential error in the POAs position about restitution. IT was simply a question.

Whether your citation of laws is appropriate or not will soon be known. Do you really expect these guys to get reinstated and reimbursed? I would guess, not likely.
