The general counsel at a South Florida public hospital system is among several current and former public officials charged criminally with alleged violations of the state's Sunshine Law.
Lynn Barrett, a member of the Florida Bar since 1996, was indicted on one count of solicitation and one count of conspiracy to violate open meetings law.
Some of the allegations mirror those contained in a civil lawsuit against Barrett, the top lawyer at the North Broward Hospital District in Fort Lauderdale, which markets itself under the brand name Broward Health. According to that complaint, filed by the fired interim CEO of the board, the agency and several of its officials, including Barrett, violated the public-records law by not giving proper notice of the Dec. 1, 2016, meeting at which Pauline Grant, the Broward Health interim chief executive, was ousted.
