Either one is good for the Southwest District although that might leave Bob Beltran as the choice. Not sure that's much better. These Scott appointees, yes that what Meeker and Guillery and th eother Executive Director were/are, and many of his other state agency hand picked minions don't seem to last very long until they appear to panick and depart as they realize they are in over their head and about to be found out. It seems their only talent in the private sector was shaking hands and using whatever was at their means to do someone in the party a favor to promote themselves. Now as meeker found out, you can't get away with it in the Sunshine of state government. And if you can't make your bosses happy with gifts and you run out of tea party agenda goals all youhave left is your ability to work hard which appears to be a virtue that neither Meeker or Guillery has. Looking forward to November 2014 to clean house.

I guess that just proves crap does rise to the top! No matter how hard I tried during my "thanks for your 25 years of faithful service" recognition, I could not get him to look me in the eyes as he shook my hand. Nothing but a slimy used car salesman with absolutely no environmental stewardship experience as far as I'm concerned.
