Welcome, Commissioner Russell

This morning at the Hernando County Board of Commissioners, Judge Daniel Merritt, Sr. had the honor of swearing in newly elected Commissioner David Russell. Very little fanfare was undertaken for Commissioner Russell other than a few snapshots by newspaper photographers. Chairwoman Rowden took a ten minute recess for everyone in the chamber to greet Commissioner Russell then she called the meeting back to order. This swearing in ceremony of Commissioner Russell did not have any of the fanfare like in previous years. In fact, this ceremony seemed rather clinical, to the point of being cold, since Chairwoman Rowden did not even take the opportunity to welcome her new colleague on board, nor did the other two commissioners. Commissioner Russell will be a real asset to the Board of County Commissioner with his wealth of knowledge from the Florida Legislature. From the citizens of Hernando County, welcome on board Commissioner Russell.

Is this the same David Russell that supported the new bicycle law that allows bicyclist to impede normal traffic flow on our local roads?

I really don't know if David Russell supported that legislation.
