This week, Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers (FCCC) are celebrating 2022 Sunshine Week, an annual recognition honoring Florida’s commitment to transparency and government in the sunshine.

“Clerks of Court are excited to celebrate Sunshine Week and highlight the instrumental role we play in supporting transparency in county government and the court system,” said Manatee County Clerk and FCCC President Angelina “Angel” Colonneso. “As records custodians, and toward our shared vision of being premiere models of exceptional government, we are constantly looking at ways to improve access to records with new technologies and provide exceptional customer service. This Sunshine Week, I encourage you to learn about the records we provide and how to view and request information you may be interested in.”

Clay County Clerk and immediate past FCCC President Tara S. Green said one of the clerks’ highest priorities is ensuring access to public records and promoting government accountability.
