The only answer I ever received from the attorneys was "it should have never happened", an unacceptable answer, you cannot change history. This is of course now all history itself and there is nothing that can be done to change it, so we shall move past this and look forward to tomorrow.

You always seem to forget DW.....that ‘initially’ you were the Governors.....second choice! (see below)
Wiley will replace Diane Spencer in the District 5 seat on the board.
Spencer was appointed by DeSantis back in March to fill the seat left vacant by Oren Miller, who was suspended while awaiting trial on a felony perjury charge.
Spencer was initially slated to finish the four-year terms of former Commissioner Miller, who won office in November 2020 after defeating an incumbent in the Republican Primary. But, she put in her resignation letter after less than two weeks in office, citing a medical emergency, according to The Villages Daily Sun. Spencer also withdrew her candidacy for the District 5 seat.
