PALM BEACH COUNTY depends on residents’ willingness to help govern our community. Be it a club, condominium, homeowners association, a village, city or town, special taxing district or the county. This doesn’t even scratch the surface as the state and federal government require citizens to step forward and accept the responsibilities of elective office. My guest today accepted the call by our governor to step into a county commission seat vacated by an individual appointed to another government position. Michael Barnett is no stranger to the political process, having previously served as the chair of the Republican Party of Florida Palm Beach County. We talk, in this episode, about his reaction to the governor’s call and his experience as one of seven members of the County Commission. Interesting insights and a great opportunity to gain insights into the political process.
