Former Secretary files grievance against Chairman Steele

July 16, 2009 by Jason Steele · 2 Comments 

The former Secretary of the Brevard Republican Executive Committee Travis Clinger has filed a grievance against BREC Chairman Jason Steele. The grievance alleges:

  • Steele violated the state loyalty oath by commissioning a “push poll” to gauge voter response to a potential Tobia versus Steele rematch in 2010.
  • Steele “lied to the press and media” by issuing a press release stating the BREC had passed a resolution condemning party endorsements before the primaries. In fact, the BREC voted to have the Chair send a letter because appropriate notice to adopt a “resolution” hadn’t been given to the full committee. The motion passsed with only three dissenting votes.
  • Steele has repeatedly “lambasted the RPOF and the Governor at Brevard Republican Executive Committee Meetings and Events”.
  • Steele has been quoted in the newspaper as saying that individuals should file to run against incumbent Republicans in Brevard’s County’s legislative delegation.
  • The BREC is asking for your support at Chairman Steele’s grievance hearing next Friday night at 7pm at the Gaylord Palms hotel in Kissimmee. We are organizing a carpool and details will be posted here and e-mailed to all committee members once they are finalize.

    Here is a copy of the actual grievance:
