My understanding is that it was in dispute whether that was an intentional lie or an inaccurate memory of the timeline of events. To me, having remembered things incorrectly myself, there is a significant difference.

Miller is not exonerated. Appears his dishonesty is confirmed.

Legally, the conviction was overturned which I believe means it is treated as if it never happened. I would call this exoneration. And nowhere, other than poster's declarations, did I see any confirmation of dishonesty.

Can't speak to the legal aspects of back pay, reinstatement etc. or the relevance of Sunshine Law violation,- the court can chase that down. Personally, I wonder at having a commissioner so willing to commit the initial lie as well as the alleged interaction behind the lie.
suspect folks' opinions re. this matter are driven more by politics than substance.

For a third time, I strongly disagree with your assertion. I believe the investigation and prosecution was motivated by politics, not the eventual outcome. (Since discussing politics is not allowed on this board I cannot explain or give examples)
I do not know the individual personally nor have I had any interaction with him. I was around when he was the only local voice providing information on Covid vaccination sites in the area. It seems there was something else he was providing information on but I cannot remember what it was. I would welcome him as a commissioner again though I highly doubt that will be allowed to happen.
