Buzz: Secret to Goodin’s nomination

The Florida Transportation Commission serves as nominating Commission in the selection of the Secretary of Transportation. The Governor appoints Secretary from among three candidates nominated by the Commission. Former Santa Rosa County Commissioner Gordon Goodin, R-Navarre, is one of the three nominees this year.

Bart Pullum of Navarre is the vice-chair. Garrett Walton of Pensacola is a member of the three-person board. The only non-Panhandle member is the chair Marty Lanahan of Jacksonville.
