ALBERTO IBARGUEN PUBLISHER . TOM FIEDLER EXECI'
'::~DISCLOSE LOBBYING FEES
::~,!.COURT SAYS CONSULTANTS STONEWALLED
Decision upholds
public's right to know
lobbyists' fees.
",..,.., he Third District Court of
'01'.1 Appeal this week moved Miami-
"'Dade County residents one step
"'c1oser to knowing who got paid the
..Jtraveling public's money for lobbying
,to get public contracts,
'. The court said that an airport con-
0; sultant, Dade Aviation Consultants,
: was "stonewalling" to prevent disclo-
:"sure of fees paid to lobbyists to get
:' 'ttnd retain DAC's contract with Miami
; 'International Airport. That stonewall-
.. ' ihg has gone on for an unconscionable
';"period, with the County Commission-
ers standing by with folded arms
-.:while the public was denied informa-
'tion.
,.:, !
:;,COMMISSION DID LITTLE
.,L Other than hiring Aviation Direc-
tor Angela Gittens, the commission
stubbornly has resisted other positive
moves to improve airport gover-
nance, It opposed a blue-ribbon pan-
el's recommendations, including to
create an independent authority to
govern MIA as a world-class, publicly
responsible government agency.
Mayor Alex Penelas ultimately has
come to support this recommenda-
tion. 'j:.:
The commission's refusal to tell
DAC to release its lobby p~~ments to
the public is iust another example of
its unwillingness to loosen its grip on
airport contracts.
'.1" It's outrageous that the commis-
sion allowed DAC to stonewall to the
p'oint that it took a newspaper's law-
. 'sbit to force an entity acting on behalf
':'{lfthe county - that is, on behalf of
. Hie public, of taxpayers - to disclose
'~hat went on.
Indeed, lobbyists' work on behalf
of clients at County Hall is all about
.. public business, If such arrangements
bctween firms seeking county con-
. tracts and lobbyists were public
rccord, Miami-Dade residents would
-I' 'have a far clearer understanding of
how the County Commission makes
decisions about the public's money.
Residents then can decide for them-
selves how much influence lobbyists
have with commissioners regarding
their votes on contract awards.
In one three-year period, DAC paid
lobbyists nearly $500,000, if not more,
to help the firm keep its contract with
the county. There could be more such
payments and agreements. But the
public was kept in the dark.
DAC said this information wasn't
subject to public-records laws
because the payments to lobbyists
came from private funds. The Herald
sued for disclosure and won, forcing
release of the records. The appellate
court used strong language to
describe DAC's argument as a smoke-
screen,
Chief Judge Alan Schwartz wrote
that, although DAC had long provided
"indistinguishable records to thc
media on numerous occasions with-
out objection, it attemptcd to with-
hold what it apparently regarded as
the embarrassing information
involved here by raising, . . one mmsy
and indeed transparent excuse after
another in defense of its position: a
pattern of conduct which amounted
to the very definition of stoncwall-
ing,"
DISCLOSURE REQUIRED
The opinion says DAC "mislcd
counsel by withholding, only for
example, the actual agrcemcnt
between the consultants and the lob-
byists, which demonstrated that their
duties were in fact not related to any
private function."
The county's Commission on Eth-
ics and Public Trust strongly advo-
cates that the County Commission
require lobbyists and their clients 10
disclose al1 fees paid in connection
with seeking county contracts. This
measure should be adoptcd, as it has
been in other local governments
around the country, Whenever public
money is involved, the dcals struck
bctween those seeking government
contracts and the lobbyists hircd to
help them should be a mattcr of pub-
lic record,
