At this hour David Morgan has been sworn in as Escambia County Sheriff; a ceremony was held this morning at 9:00 AM in the chambers of the Escambia County Commission.
James Owens has also taken office as the Public Defender of the First Judicial Circuit Court of Florida. Mr. Owens, of course, replaces Jack Behr, who has served since 1976; Mr. Owens is widely expected to make sweeping changes to the public defender’s office, including possible layoffs.
Best of luck to both gentlemen.
