Failing upwards...

Or, how to reward the ones you love.


TALLAHASSEE -- Confirming Palm Beach County's
rise from goat to hero, three local officials are playing
a prominent role in Gov. Jeb Bush's latest round of
election reforms.

Bush named Elections Supervisor Theresa LePore,
County Commission Chairman Warren Newell and
state Senate Democratic Leader Ron Klein of Delray
Beach to the 15-member, 2002 Select Task Force on
Election Procedures.

Formed by executive order Nov. 18, the group will
conduct its first meeting on Dec. 9 and 10 in Orlando,
where panel members will discuss everything from the
permanent elimination of runoff elections to giving
elections officials more time to count absentee and
provisional ballots.
