Thanks-do you know if it is a 'paid' position or if not, what benefits come with being on the Suncoast Board (aside from fellowship with once upon time board members like Felos and, I believe but am not sure here, Greer)?

IS it legal for a campaign contributor to plead a case before a Judge that is the beneficiary of said contribution? Doesn't that smack of the possibility of quid pro quo? And in a life and death issue, isn't it crucial that a judge be impartial as all get out? ( I know-it should always be this way...but man...Pinellas County is one creepy, incestuous bed of thriving corruption when it comes to laying out rulings).
