Interesting ... it’s an ELECTED office, apparently. Governor deSantis did not hire her. Interesting that he has the power to effectively fire her.
Get’s him a small portion of the day’s news “cycle”.
Hard to get air, when the oxygen in the big room is scarce.
It is interesting. Apparently in FL, if you are elected to enforce the law as a DA, which no democrats do, then the Governor can whack you. the accusation is dereliction of duty. Person is caught breaking law X. DA does not prosecute for bogus reason, Gov can say take a hike? Correct. It beats waiting 4 years until the next election. He suspended the sheriff in parkvale and the Dade county election chief too, once he was in office. Its a shame that all the other republican govs before him in FL and other places never bother to do this.
I was at a mandatory meeting for elected officials in our county when someone brought up a case of an election judge (same office I hold) who was getting a lot of people in her precinct angry. We were told that as long as they were showing up for work and performing their duties, they could only vote them out of office next time their term was up or encourage them to resign.
Of course, this is Pennsylvania. Florida may be different.

I went to that woman’s website. She’s one of those uber-woke types, all about fighting inequality instead of fighting crime.
But should one elected official be able to suspend another elected official? Better I think to have a robust impeachment system and a robust recall system.
I don’t know how many other states allow that, but apparently New York does. Andrew Giuliani was promising to fire NY DA Bragg, if he was elected governor. Lee Zeldin picked up on the idea once he won the nomination, promising to fire Bragg once in office. According to Rudy Giuliani, the governor even has the power to remove a mayor.
