Kevin White: Why he should resign or be fired, and why taxpayers should have just bought him a hooker

Good news: Not only do we NIMBYS and concerned citizens think that Commissioner Kevin Shovel-ready White should pack his bags, but both the Tribune and the Times are also calling for his resignation. If that doesn't happen, then they think the governor should at least consider removing him.
White has cost taxpayers a fortune already since the county was also named in his sexual harassment suit. I heard back from the County Attorney's office and was shocked to learn that the county was paying $250 an hour for their defense in this case. I don't know what hookers make, but let's just say they make the same as attorneys. By my calculations taxpayers could have bought Commissioner White a hooker for an hour a day for an entire year and still come in well under the $100,000+ that taxpayers are on the hook for so far.
I only hope the rest of our Commissioners make him pay up. You can write to them here and encourage them to make White pay for his own indiscretions instead of saddling taxpayers with this burden. You can write to our own Best of the Bay recipient Governor Charlie Crist here.
While I think it is considered poor form to celebrate before you actually make it into the end zone, in the war on the Gang of Five...................I think we can safely say TWO DOWN!
