I had to smile when I saw Don Benton’s sign. As I recall:
1. Benton was hired by political cronies for an environmental director position that he wasn’t qualified for.
2. He was fired.
3. He sued and won a settlement on a technicality.
4. He received a political appointment to direct a mothballed federal program where, apparently, he did no harm.
Now he’s back attempting to drink from the public well again. I give it to him that he has name recognition and a catchphrase. Based on his recent history, I see no evidence that he fights for anyone but himself.
Just once, I wish he would run on his qualifications and not smoke and mirrors.
