Today's letters: Readers comment on the Sunshine Law, the Move Over Law, the 2020 election - Yahoo News
What are they hiding?
What are our lawmakers afraid of? What are they trying to hide?
Is it that they, perhaps, cannot get rid of the Sunshine Law as it now exists, or is it because they do not want the public to know what is happening in our state government, areas of governance or police departments?
If the latter is the reason, then what do they want to hide?
It is bad enough they are trying to limit the people's right to vote.

Move over
Two different tow truck drivers were killed in the line of duty/assisting at motor vehicle crash scenes in Marion County by other motorists in the last eight years — one tow truck driver on or about May 4, 2014; the second tow truck driver on or about April 28, 2021.
Other first responders, law enforcement officers, and fire and emergency medical personnel also have been killed or seriously injured while working motor vehicle crash scenes and assisting people seriously or severely injured at motor vehicle crash scenes in Marion County and other counties in Florida in recent years.
That’s why the Florida Legislature passed what is commonly called the “Move Over Law.” And this month, January, is the month that the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and the Florida Highway Patrol remind all motorists of this law and the protection it provides to dedicated first responders and others assisting at motor vehicle crash scenes, assisting with disabled motor vehicles and enforcing the Florida Traffic Code.
For more information about this life-saving law, visit bit.ly/moveoverlaw22. And remember that tow truck drivers are first responders, too. Move over or slow down for them as well.

Democracy for all
It has been more than a year since the 2020 presidential election and there is still controversy over its legitimacy. I have a simple question to ask: Prior to 2020, did anyone think it possible that a presidential election in the United States of America could be rigged, stolen and the rightful winner denied the presidency? Yet here we are one year later and a sizable segment of the population actually believes that happened.
