Gov. Charlie Crist has just appointed former Hillsborough Superintendent Earl Lennard to the Hillsborough Supervisor of Elections seat vacated by Phyllis Busansky, who died last month. Said Crist in a statement: “Earl understands the importance of elections in our democracy and has a fundamental sense of fairness. Dr. Lennard has served the Hillsborough County community well, both as superintendent and as a community leader, and I am confident he will once again serve the people of Hillsborough County well.”
