News of the day

Gov. Charlie Crist is coming to Pensacola to board a helicopter to check on the oil spill from the La. oil rig that is heading this way. It’s also the day that Crist is to announce what he will do about indicted County Commissioner Gene Valentino. Stay tuned.

If Crist suspends Valentino, another possible replacement that is being mentioned is Gene’s predecessor Bill Dickson. Dickson wouldn’t run for the seat and wouldn’t be threat to a Touart campaign. Makes some sense….some, not much.
