Mush ado about nothing apparently. Anyone know these people? Maybe the person whose character has been questioned is applying under an alias and fake beard.

No, this isn't nothing. This came about because people contacted the commissioners, and voiced their displeasure about not having a real county attorney instead of a contract firm that had other business interests in the county, and because of people asking Brannon to excuse himself from the consideration of a firm that he has business ties to, and because of the various ethics complaints being lodged against the commissioners.

This is a victory. The Adkinson appointment had been a done deal, and it got un-done when the people got vocal.

In connection with the vacant county attorney position, the commissioners made a decision to fill the position not with a law firm but with an individual attorney who would then be able to secure additional help as needed on contract for work on cases. At the Jan. 24 meeting, the commissioners ranked applications from individual attorneys, and those rankings were tabulated to choose seven attorneys to proceed to the interview process.


County Commission Chairman Scott Brannon did not participate in reviewing or ranking applications. In response to a citizen’s concerns, he had sought an opinion from the Florida Commission on Ethics as to whether he should participate. This was due to his personal attorneys, the Adkinson Firm, being one of the firms applying for the position.


Kisela said Brannon had just received the opinion the day of the meeting and was reviewing it.
The commissioners opted to arrange interviews with the seven attorneys who received multiple votes in their ranking. These include, John Bruhn, Joni Craig, Jennifer Schuler, Aleksandr Boksner, Ken Goldberg, Rene Youell, and Mike Burns. The commissioners plan to interview the candidates initially on a one-on-one basis, individually.
