Hey, PRIMROSE - An Open Letter to Gov. Ron DeSantis
Remember these other choices? It's ok, shit happens. You listened to a guy who knew a guy and made a mistake. It takes a big man to admit it. Or just blame someone else - that's what Scott Israel taught us - CYA. Or throw a bunch of cops under a bus like "Sheriff" Tony. So far you've been kicking ass all over the state. Can you please just #fixthis faux pas?
Thanks,
there are actually many deserving employees at BSO and we don't deserve Scott Israel or Gregory Tony and neither does Broward County (as liberally retarded as they are).

Possible Replacements for Sheriff Scott Israel Include Former Fort Laud Mayor, Cops and Judges
BY BUDDY NEVINS
Broward Sheriff Scott Israel is almost certainly toast.
Gov.-elect Ron DeSantis could suspend him minutes after taking office next week in the wake of the devastating criticism of the sheriff’s department by the state commission investigating the Parkland shooting.
Regardless of the actions of DeSantis, who pledged to remove Israel during his campaign, the sheriff is a political Dead Man Walking.
He has lost the support of many of the leading Democrats. He has lost the support of many in the downtown business community. He has lost the support of the Sun-Sentinel, which called for his removal this week after supporting him in April.
If he is not removed from office, Israel will almost certainly face credible challengers in 2020.
Clearly some of the political establishment is already looking for a new sheriff.
DeSantis’ people are being passed names of individuals that the new governor could appoint to replace Israel. The right appointment could become the most powerful political figure in Broward.
The following names were gathered from interviews with Broward insiders over the past week. The caveat is that only DeSantis knows how this mess is going to shake out.
But speculation is the 24/7 pastime of pols. After all, there are three TV cable news networks that thrive on political speculation. And Israel’s fate and who might replace him is all Broward’s political world is talking about as 2018 comes to an end.
Best known among those being whispered as a replacement for Israel is former Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jack Seiler.
He would would have take a pay cut to step down from his thriving law practice, so who knows if he would make the financial sacrifice. Seiler also is controversial in Fort Lauderdale for encouraging development, but development is not an issue for a sheriff.
On the plus side, Seiler is a moderate Democrat who worked with Republicans when he was in the Legislature and who accomplished a great deal as mayor.
Other names being mentioned include Broward County Judge John D. Fry, a former sergeant with the U. S. Marines and Margate Police who has been on the bench since 2010.
Other judges with law enforcement backgrounds were suggested to browardbeat.com, such as former Broward Chief Judge Dale Ross.
Others said the perfect choice would be Coral Springs Police Chief Clyde Parry given his officers laudable bravery during the high school shooting.
Two other police chiefs mentioned to browardbeat.com were Rick Maglione of Fort Lauderdale and Constance Stanley of Lauderhill.
And get this name, which one Fort Lauderdale-centric pol mentioned:
In a nod to the notion that the sheriff’s job is largely administrative, browardbeat.com was told that outgoing Fort Lauderdale City Manager Lee Feldman could be a choice. Fired by the City Commission in October, Feldman is by no means liked by everybody in Fort Lauderdale. The theory is that he would be appointed by the new governor until the next election for sheriff in 2020.
Former Sheriff Al Lamberti, a Republican that Israel defeated to win his job, was mentioned, too. But more than one told browardbeat.com that Lamberti is not interested.
None of the names mentioned could be reached for comment over the Holidays.
Despite all these rumors, if DeSantis removes Israel he could pick a temporary replacement that nobody in Broward’s political world knows. A relatively-unknown business type with strong managerial skills. An anonymous law enforcement person.
The only thing certain is that Broward’s political world — Democrats and Republicans — believe that this is happening fast.
Stay tuned.

This is a joke. Governor has no legal basis to remove Tony. But the truth is that DeSantis picked Tony so he and his team will do everything possible to portray Tony as a success because seeing him as anything but that would reflect badly on DeSantis. That is why DeSantis won't ever do anything but praise Tony. Sorry, losers!!!!
