Nassau County Attorney Michael Mullin, investigated by the State Attorney’s Office, was found to have knowingly violated Florida’s public records and open government laws.
Mullin claims that neither he nor the other county commissioners intentionally deleted text messages, and a good faith effort was made to comply with Raydient’s public records request. Mullin stated that he had set his text messages to delete in 30 days. The investigation report reads:
“Based on his experience and position within the county, it is unreasonable to believe that he did not recognize that these text message communications constituted public records that needed to be preserved.” The State Attorney’s Office report says that in order to avoid formal prosecution for misdemeanor violations of Florida open records law, Mullin will resign as County Attorney effective March 31, 2022. Mullin on Tuesday sent a letter to the Board of County Commissioners stating he was retiring.
