Jeb Bush dumps emails, home addresses, and social security numbers of Florida residents online
The Verge ^ | February 10, 2015 | T.C. Sottek

Jeb Bush, a rumored 2016 Republican presidential candidate, just decided to publish hundreds of thousands of emails sent to him during his time as governor of Florida. On its face it seems like a great idea in the name of transparency, but there's one huge problem: neither Bush nor those who facilitated the publication of the records, including the state government, decided to redact potentially sensitive personal information from them.

"In the spirit of transparency, I am posting the emails of my governorship here," a note on Bush's website says. "Some are funny; some are serious; some I wrote in frustration." Some also contain the email addresses, home addresses, phone numbers, and social security numbers of Florida residents. The emails are available in Outlook format, and can be searched on the web at Bush's website.

Here's one from the erroneous date file:

8 / 83 Next  Date: Thu, Feb 18, 1904 11:46:46pm To: From: Lauren Sobyra save the manatee Dear Mr. Bush, Please save the manatees. When you get to the manatee area, turn off your motor. The propellers can go in the manatee and could slice their heart. Please change your plan so that it will protect the manatees. When you go past a sign about the manatees, please go slow! We need everybody to do the same thing! Help keep the manatee from becoming extinct. Unless you want to kill a manatee, do not do this! Your plan will not protect the manatee! Sincerely, Mrs. Sobyra's Summer School Class, Prairie Crossing Charter School, Grayslake, Illinois

Wouldn't you just love to be one of his donors?

Watch the money dry up in a big hurry.

Well, that was stupid if not criminal. Should disqualify him for the presidency!

It is difficult to believe he did not know the potential dangers of doing this. Very difficult.

No it's not.

Brother Bush, who was POTUS, had a homeland security boss that had people who entered the country illegally wandering around the inside of his private residence....During war time.

Maybe I missed something...but the emails, while no longer available for download, still have cell numbers etc...

How is that any better? Nothing dies on the internet. Plus, what’s to prevent screenshots? They should be taken down completely. What a boneheaded move.

Just another follow up by the GOPe to lose a la McCain/Dole/Bush Sr/etc. As long as they’re off the hook, screw the republic.

I just had to comment after reading Jebbie’s spokeswoman's comments where she cited Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes.
Under the statute commonly known as the government in the sunshine law public records act, Jeb knows full well that it is a requirement that all records be reviewed for exempted personal information and it be removed PRIOR to release.
Jeb, having been governor for 8 years, I can guarantee you knew full well what he was doing when he released this. Jebbie isn't just DUMB, he's criminally stupid. Does he think that he needs to be as sleazy and corrupt as Obama to run in the upcoming presidential race? I never thought he had a God complex when he was governor but oops I was wrong. Why else release this? People do not matter, nor do their lives that could be ruined by this.
Jebbie was a joke as governor and he still is.

Liberals are stupid.

Jorge Busho is a liberal.

Can you guess the conclusion?

Bush misremembered to not dump. I heard Bush told his staff it took 15 minutes to upload all that stuff to the world.

Perhaps the guy He just hired from the Romney camp talked him into it.
