Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Prior to the beginning of his career in public service, Governor MacKay achieved the rank of captain in the United States Air Force from 1955-1958. Like many of his predecessors, he was initially elected to the Florida House of Representatives, in which he served Alachua and Marion counties from 1968-1974. By 1983, he was ready to walk onto the national stage, and was elected to the United States House of Representatives and served three, consecutive terms in Congress. Senator Lawton Chiles chose Buddy MacKay to run with him as his lieutenant governor in 1992, and again in 1996. Among the greatest responsibilities assigned to him during the Chiles-MacKay years was to co-chair the Florida Commission on Education Reform and Accountability. In 1998, Lt. Governor MacKay chose to run for governor himself, but was defeated by Republican candidate Jeb Bush. In the final days of 1998, Governor MacKay served the remaining three weeks of the second term of his colleague and dear friend, Governor Lawton Chiles-who died unexpectedly on December 12, 1998. |

Licensing[edit]

This work was created by a government unit (including state, county, and municipal government agencies) of the U.S. state of Florida. It is a public record that was not created by an agency which state law has allowed to claim copyright and is therefore in the public domain in the United States.
Definition of "public record"
Public records are works "made or received in connection with the official business of any public body, officer, or employee of the state, or persons acting on their behalf, [which includes the work of] the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government and each agency or department created thereunder; counties, municipalities, and districts; and each constitutional officer, board, and commission, or entity created pursuant to [Florida] law or [its] Constitution" (Florida Constitution, §24) such as a work made or received pursuant to law or ordinance or in connection with the transaction of official business by any state, county, district, or other unit of government created or established by law of the State of Florida (definition of public work found in Chapter 119.011(12), Florida Statutes). Agencies permitted to claim copyright
Florida's Constitution and its statutes do not permit any agency to claim copyright for "public records" unless authorized to do so by law. The following agencies are permitted to claim copyright (as well as trademarks) and any works of these agencies should be assumed to be copyrighted without clear evidence to the contrary:
Works by defunct state agencies may be copyrighted if these rights were transferred to a new or different agency (note that legislation transferring such right may not have been codified into Florida Statutes). For example, copyright in works by the Florida Space Authority may have been transferred to Space Florida. State and municipal government agencies may claim copyright for software created by the agency (§ 119.084, F.S. 2018). In case law, Microdecisions, Inc. v. Skinner—889 So. 2d 871 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004) (Findlaw)—held that the Collier County Property Appraiser could not require commercial users to enter into a licensing agreement, holding that "[the agency] has no authority to assert copyright protection in the GIS maps, which are public records." Note: Works that are considered "public records" but were not created by a state or municipal government agency may be copyrighted by their author; the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution prevents state law from overriding the author's right to copyright protection that is granted by federal law. For example, a state agency may post images online of the final appearance of a building under construction; while the images may be "public records", their creator (eg. architecture/construction firm) retains copyright rights to the image unless the contract with the agency says otherwise.
