Re: Brown removed

I Googled it and found the following:

> Governor Bush suspended Mr. Dyer hours after the mayor surrendered at 
> the Orange County Jail, where he was released on his own recognizance. 
> Florida law calls for the governor to suspend public officials charged 
> with felonies while their case is pending and to remove them if they 
> are convicted. The charges - for Mr. Dyer, Ms. Phillips and Judge 
> Apte, paying for absentee ballot collection, and for Mr. Thomas, 
> receiving payment for such collection - are third-degree felonies that 
> carry a potential sentence of up to five years.

As I said before, the charges where dropped when it was decided that the 
law was too vaguely
worded to enforce.  Personally, I think that a whole lot of officials 
realized that they had might have come
real close to breaking that same law, and made sure the charges were 
dropped.  Once dropped, Dyer was re-instated, although everybody in this 
town knows he was guilty as hell, and that he did pay the person in 
question to collect absentee ballots.  But again, people in both parties 
were guilty, so, viola, end of
criminal investigation.
