It is signed by Johnny Bardine, a Stetson University College of Law alumnus, and joined by hundreds of other graduates, including three retired Florida Circuit judges and former Hillsborough County Commissioner Patrica Kemp.<\/p>\n<p>The letter reads in part:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We acknowledge that serving as Attorney General is an extraordinarily difficult responsibility, and that legal issues involving sensitive materials present inherent challenges. However, what has been widely observed is not a careful, transparent defense of the Department\u2019s actions, but conduct that appears resistant to accountability and inconsistent with the standards of truthfulness and honor that form the bedrock of our profession.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/1004428756\/Stetson-Open-Letter-Email-For-Media#from_embed\" style=\"color: #098642; text-decoration: underline;\" title=\"View Stetson Open Letter Email--For Media on Scribd\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Stetson Open Letter Email&#8211;For Media <\/a> by <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/user\/478258405\/Tampa-Bay-28#from_embed\" style=\"color: #098642; text-decoration: underline;\" title=\"View Tampa Bay 28&#039;s profile on Scribd\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> Tampa Bay 28 <\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Tampa Bay 28 reached out to Stetson University College of Law, which said: &#8220;We have no comment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/KATIE.LAGRONE.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Florida school speed zone cameras are ripping drivers off says local magistrate<\/p>\n<p>A Hillsborough County magistrate who spent months ruling on school speed zone camera cases is now blowing the whistle on Florida&#8217;s controversial new camera program.<\/p>\n<p>Florida school speed zone cameras ripping drivers off says county magistrate who ruled on hundreds of cases<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FLORIDA \u2014 An open letter to Stetson University requests the institution publicly denounces U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":172409,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[205,7083,7084,7085,7086,7087,276,712,7088,411,135,137,136],"class_list":{"0":"post-172408","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tampa","8":"tag-abc-action-news","9":"tag-citrus-county","10":"tag-desoto-county","11":"tag-hardee-county","12":"tag-hernando-county","13":"tag-highlands-county","14":"tag-hillsborough-county","15":"tag-law","16":"tag-manatee-county","17":"tag-pam-bondi","18":"tag-tampa","19":"tag-tampa-headlines","20":"tag-tampa-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=172408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/172408\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/172409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=172408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=172408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=172408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
