We'd like to see Governor CHARLES CRIST consider applicants on their merits, based upon life experience, rather than recommendations from Republicans.
Of course, ever since Florida's First American Colonial Governor (Andrew Jackson in 1819), Florida's been run on the spoils system. Jackson said if there was a job that a Democrat could not do, the job should be abolished.
We'd expect a cosmopolitan guy like Governor CRiST to do more than just rubber-stamp the Republican machine's recommendation.
Even if CRIST appoints another Republican, couldn't it be one who is not beholden to wetland-destroying, wildlife-killing, other-directed developers and their stable of policians? (Like KAREN STERN, the MAGUIRE BROTHERS, SHERIFF DAVID SHOAR f/k/a "DAViD HOAR" and the wrecking krew of louche developers and lobbyists like cheesy Snidely Whiplash lawyer GEORGE McCLURE). Why does the Republican Governor haver to appoint from KAREN STERN's pack of wolves -- destructive developers (whom former County Commission Chairman Ben Rich called "worse than any carpetbagger")?
How about Bill Hamilton (owner of Southern Horticulture) for temporary County Commissioner?
All sides respect him. He has integrity, knowledge of the environment and he's someone imbued with a brain and a spine and a sense of humor.
Bill Hamilton would be great, Governor CRIST. Future generations will thank you.
People will respect you more if you appoint someone based on merit, not affiliation with the scandal-plagued Republican Party of St. Johns County, Florida.
