Watch COCRA and Supporters of Officials Speak Before Budget Committee

Posted in: Electronic Recording, Furloughs

To paraphrase NBC’s former catchphrase, if you’ve never seen it, it’s new to you.  If you missed watching the Budge Committee discuss the elimination of officials on Tuesday, June 6th, 2009, you have another chance to view it.

A couple of highlights to watch out for.

Senator Blumenfield questioning the AOC about ER and how the AOC holds up Florida as an example of where ER has “succeeded.”

Bill Vickery of the AOC testifying about how they don’t support the LAO’s ER proposal but that they wouldn’t be opposed to ER in non-criminal courts.

CCRA’s past president Lesia Mervin, COCRA president Tami Brown and past president Lyn Yard appear before committee speaking in favor of officials and against ER.  Watch as Ms. Mervin and Ms. Brown let the air out of the LAO’s “ER is great and it works in Florida” balloon.  Priceless!
