Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink’s daily schedule is now online.

Sink, a Democrat who is also running for governor after two-and-a-half years in statewide office, has worked an average of 33 hours per week since May 1, according to an analysis done by The Palm Beach Post. Her schedule shows she taken an average eight hours per week of personal time during the same time period.

The examination of the records also revealed that Attorney General Bill McCollum, whose schedule is also available on his website, spent an average of 22 hours a week on the job since May 1 and an average 17 hours a week of personal time. McCollum, a Republican, announced his bid to run for governor on May 18.

McCollum’s office charged nearly $770 for a copy of his schedule from the day he took office in January 2007 to May 1, when his electronic schedule became available electronically on his website. McCollum’s staff made paper printouts of each day of his schedule, which legal staff scrubbed of cell phone numbers of law enforcement officials. They then made electronic scans of the paper copies and provided the records on a disk.

In contrast, Sink’s office e-mailed an electronic copy of her schedule for the same time period within an hour of a request – for free.

Sink and McCollum also face ethics complaints about their use of the state plane to ferry them to their homes when they were not on official state business, a violation of state law.
