Be Nice...


Charlie Wilson: My co-writer for this blog, Gary Wheeler says I am too mean and critical of people. Sweet little old me? So Ok. Here are some Atta boys.

Congratulations to Leslie Swan for an error free primary election season. Indian River County had no issues like St. Lucie County did and that's a good thing. It is time to put the Kay Clem era behind us and I for one am committed to never mentioning her name again.

Congratulations to the City of Vero Beach especially Jim O'Connor, Pilar Turner, Tracy Carroll and Craig Fletcher. Their leadership and patience has led to a huge breakthrough in the Vero utility issue. This issue has been dogging Vero Beach since the 1970's. It took real leadership and commitment to accomplish this task.

Congratulations to Tim Zorc. Tim ran a positive campaign and is now the Republican nominee. There is a lot of talk and a vicious rumor campaign being waged against Tim, so congratulations for having the courage to rise above the fray! Tim has a detailed positive plan to move Indian River County forward economically and to protect our environment and unique quality of life. Good for him.

Congratulations, I suppose, are also in order for our newest Republican. Welcome Tony Donadio. He changed his registration just 71 days ago from Democrat to Republican to run for office as a no party affiliation. During primaries, Donadio has previously supported only Democrats like Obama and Hilary Clinton but now has had a change of heart or at least that is what his group of well financed high profile backers say.

Congratulations to Russ Lemmon who has once again made the arduous journey down to the Supervisor of Elections office to leave the Republican Party. Every year he changes to vote and then changes back. At least he's honest about it. Next time Russ, why not stay awhile?

Congratulations to Bob Solari, Carole Jean Jordan, Daryl Loar, David Nolte and our newest State Committeeman Jay Kramer who all celebrated victory this month.

Congratulations to Wesley Davis who was elected without opposition. Wesley Davis is like Sara Lee...nobody doesn't like Wesley Davis.

Congratulations to our new Clerk of Courts, Jeff Smith. He is the only one to be elected unanimously since George Washington.

See. I can be nice.

Next Week. City of Vero City Council elections. I may not be so nice next week.
