Retired Judge Edward Rodgers named to new ethics commission
by George Bennett | January 27th, 2010
Rodgers
Rodgers was one of eight former elected officials vying for the spot.
The five-member ethics panel was created by county commissioners last year in response to scandals that sent five local elected official to federal prison between 2006 and 2009. Each of the seats is to be filled by a different organization. In addition to the League of Cities’ choice of Rodgers, county police chiefs picked former federal prosecutor Bruce Reinhart for one seat and the president of Florida Atlantic University picked FAU ethics professor Robin Fiore for another.
The two remaining seats will be filled by the county chapter of the Florida Institute of CPAs and by a coalition of minority lawyer groups.

great. the judges in this community are part of the problem. they are known for being incompetent or corrupt. being stupid is not against the law, but their level of stupidity borders on criminal. judges who hear cases from their former partners. judges who make outrageous demands from the tax payers. who put their “lovers” on the tax payers dime. come on. putting a judge on an ethics commision is a joke.

It’s the same old people, the same old faces, the same old gang…be they black, white, purple, orange.
They’re just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

LRT…I hope your not being serious. If you are, then you are part of the problem, or you have been living under a rock.

Yep, business as usual – stock an ethics panel with judges, lawyers and CPAs.
Why don’t they just go to county jail booking and select from there?
If they just hold off they can get some real ethics experts – Liberti, Newell, Maxilooti and McCarty. What a joke!
