SPECIAL EDITION | MAY 29, 2018
Greetings,

Recently, the county received a public records request from Dick Batchelor requesting a copy of my Constant Contact e-mail database. 

Mr. Batchelor is affiliated with the Children's Trust of Orange County, a political committee registered with the Orange County Supervisor of Elections. While protecting your privacy is extremely important to me, I am obligated under Florida's public records law to comply with his request. 

You are receiving this notification because your e-mail address is in the Constant Contact database and will be provided to Mr. Batchelor.  It is likely that you will be receiving future unsolicited e-mails from him related to their proposal to create a Children's Services Council and a countywide tax increase of 1/2 mil.  Given that there has been a lot of misinformation and erroneous data circulated on this issue, if you receive any e-mails from this organization and want to verify the accuracy, please contact my office. 

Regarding the tax increase being sought by this outside political committee called the Children's Trust of Orange County, you recently received a special edition OC Connect on this issue (linked below). For the latest update, please see the attached memo (linked below) I sent to the Board of County Commissioners today. 

Also, rest assured that I remain committed to addressing all of our community's pressing needs, including placing a top priority on our children.  It is imperative, however, that we tackle all of these issues in an open, transparent and accountable way and that decisions are made with accurate and complete information.  

Sincerely,
Teresa Jacobs
Orange County Mayor
