August 18, 2005 (Via Email) Dear Mr. Bond: We have received your "Request for Assistance in Removing Public Officers" in which you ask this office to assist in the removal from office of Chief Financial Officer Tom Gallagher and Commissioner Kevin McCarty. You cite sections 112.40-112.52, Florida Statutes, as our authority to proceed. Sections 112.40-112.52, Florida Statutes, provide the procedures that the Governor and the Florida Senate follow in the course of the suspension and removal of public officers subject to suspension under Article IV, section 7, of the Florida Constitution. Article IV, section 7(a), Florida Constitution, provides that the Governor may suspend only "those officers not subject to impeachment." Article III, section 17(a), Florida Constitution, provides that members of the cabinet are subject to impeachment by the Florida Legislature. The Attorney General's Office does not have a role in the suspension of public officers. Sincerely, Patricia R. Gleason General Counsel 209092@blogcritics.org Thu, 18 Aug 2005 09:57:38 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/05/14/212410.php#comment-64512 What the hell is so bad about "portables"? You can learn just as well in a "portable" as you can in a regular classroom. 64512@blogcritics.org Tue, 18 May 2004 01:36:23 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/05/14/212410.php#comment-64198 Don't you mean "break"? Remember, the Legislature controls funding, and if they don't provide enough funding to schools so they can construct more space, schools have no choice but to add portables. As I recall, Charlie was not always happy with the Legislature's decisions, although, I have seen a reduction in portable use and more school construction here in my area, so obviously some progress has taken place. Charlie is the only Republican I know who has had the courage to go against his own party's leadership, whether the Governor or the Legislature, to do what is right for the people of Florida. I don't see any other Florida politicians taking on the phone companies to make them pay for taking advantage of Floridians. Who knows, maybe you work for a phone company and simply aren't happy about this. You never know who's behind an annonymous attack. Cheers. 64198@blogcritics.org Sat, 15 May 2004 11:53:00 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/05/14/212410.php#comment-64193 I will NEVER forget when Crist was the head of eduction in Florida and he proclaimed that he would erase all the portables that dotted school grounds all over Florida HA! give me a brake Crist is a joke why is it politicians (especially in Florida) look and act like used up car salesman? 64193@blogcritics.org Sat, 15 May 2004 10:59:49 EDT
