Scott to interview former state attorney Krischer for McAuliffe vacancy

Former Palm Beach County state attorney Barry Krischer said he’ll be in Tallahassee Monday to interview with Gov. Rick Scott for the appointment to replace current State Attorney Michael McAuliffe.

McAuliffe is leaving office March 16 for a job with billionaire Bill Koch‘s Oxbow Carbon.

Krischer, a Democrat, was elected four times and held the top prosecutor’s job from 1993 to 2009. He has said he’s only interested in serving the final 10-1/2 months of McAuliffe’s term and would not run for a full four-year term in the fall.

So far Scott’s only interviews have been with three Republicans — Chief Assistant State Attorney Paul Zacks, Assistant State Attorney Ellen Roberts and former assistant state attorney Daniel Galo.

    So he was State Atty for 16 years, never saw corruption or police brutality, the corruption was so widespread it took the Feds coming in to try to correct because local State Atty was blind to his buddies crimes, and he is qualified how? A crook like Scott would probably love this guy.

  6. Frank Says:

    The king of Grand Jury investigations of the executive branch- I don’t see happening. Unless the governor wants him to take over executive branch.

  7. Just Appoint Dave Says:

    The clearly is no repub going to run so make transition easier and appoint Aronberg. If repub does run – so what? Voters can then decide.

  8. Better Luck Next Time Says:

    Krischer turned a blind eye to corruption. Please, Gov. Scott, we don’t want him back in office.
