Jim Norman has been officially outed.
He played the duplicitous clown in front of Leon County Circuit Judge Jackie Fulford. His relationship with Ralph Hughes was more than brazenly cozy.
Two courses of action come to mind.
For Norman, drop the appeal. You’ve disgraced yourself, and in the self-serving process courted confusion and chaos for Senate District 12 voters. End the part you have control over. Appeal, for once, to a higher standard. Step down.
For the Salvation Army, drop Norman. You can’t have kettle-bearing employees approaching holiday shoppers when you’re keeping this disgraced politician on the payroll at $95,000 a year.
