Following a Miami Herald investigation, Village of Key Biscayne manager Steve Williamson hired a PR firm to rehabilitate his staff's image, restricting their communication.
Williamson's communication policy has sparked concerns about potential First Amendment violations, limiting employees' rights to inform the public while risking costly legal ramifications.
Lawrence Walters warns that restricting communication undermines democratic processes, asserting the public's right to know and the importance of transparency from officials.
Several council members expressed surprise at Williamson’s policy issuance, highlighting a lack of communication and potential disregard for democratic principles within local governance.
