How else would you choose the initial members of a board? The residents don't know what the board does yet or what the minimum qualifications would be so allowing the voters to choose would be like the blind leading the blind.

The Governor chooses experienced, qualified individuals for the initial board to get the district up and running and then the residents choose the new members as the terms of the initial board come to an end. As I understand it, that is Florida law.
