Frances Green of Lake Worth writes that as a Florida resident who often travels to other states to visit family, I’m disappointed Florida doesn’t require restaurants to display their sanitation inspection scores.

Many other states require this practice, which allows customers to see how a restaurant rates and forces the restaurant to work hard to maintain standards, since their scores are prominently displayed for all to see.

The only law now on the books requires restaurants to produce their latest inspection report on request. Who is going to do that? Visitors from states required to display scores must wonder why Florida doesn’t provide this information for residents and visitors. Obviously, the restaurant lobbyists are hard at work preventing this practice.
