Paper: Eggelletion The Target of Feds
BY BUDDY NEVINS
Elgin Jones, one of the better investigative reporters in South Florida, has a hot story about Broward County Commission Josephus Eggelletion.
Jones contends a federal grand jury is mulling over whether to indict Eggelletion.
Many might not see Jones’ story because it is in the South Florida Times, which aims at a black audience.

Time is running out for Ol’ Joe. The question is who will replace him. The governor will apppoint one of the few black Republicans in Broward. In 2010, Chris Smith? Joe Gibbons?

Commissioner Matt Meadows
You heard it here first!

Joe Gibbons would be the best choice. He is a Democrat and with Crist in a primary for the Senate nomination, it is unlikely he can afford to pick a Democrat.

I’m Lost:
Wouldn’t it be elected because it is too far out from the next election?
IF it is an appointment, don’t Governors look to find people from the District?
Is Joe Gibbons in the District?
You cant just go all over the county looking for people. And of course he will choose one of the Dems. It’s a Black Dem seat, everybody knows that. Look at the Addie Green retirement in Palm Beach. He chose a Black Dem Woman to replace a Black Dem Woman. If the seat was a White Male Repub he would do the same , it’s just politics. The only people who will scream are people who think Crist is really a moderate Dem anyway. They Sqwaked when he appointed Taylor to Addie’s seat exposing their lack of knowledge and political understanding
IF it is an appointment, he should just go ahead and put Chris smith in there now , if he wants it because he’ll take the seat if it suits his political ambitions in 2012 anyway.
FROM BUDDY: I’m often lost after reading the comments.

Elgin Jones has a hard on for Joe Eggelletion. You call him a reporter. I call him an attacker. He is far from unbias. He is a disgrace. How can you believe what he writes?
