Inside EDEC: Melton told to sit down, shut up

test RB Buzz: The newly formed Black Caucus attended last week’s meeting of the Escambia Democratic Executive Committee and let chairman Ron Melton know how angry they were over his Labor Day press release (Democratic Black Caucus revealed ) and the IN Buzz item (Caucus Challenge ).

Meanwhile, Democratic Party officials in Tallahassee are asking local Dems who heck is Ron Melton? And what’s his problem?
