Former Secretary files grievance against Chairman Steele
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:

I cannot believe this grievance against Chairman Jason Steele—I would understand a grievance against the National Chairman Michael Steele. When Michael Steele was running for the Chair of the RNC, I was very impressed. In fact, I believed that I could vote for him as President if he decided to run for that office. However, he has been a major disappointment in his attitude regarding Charlie Cris, etct. I am a very conservative Republican who will NOT vote for Charlie Crist for the Senate seat. If he is the Republican candidate on the ballot, and, if the Democrat candidate is too liberal, I will not cast a vote for that seat. I have heard people talking about the sad state of affairs of the Republican Party and the fact that we currently have no leader. Maybe if republicans started acting like republicans, the party could make a difference. But, when the RNC and the Brevard County REC support people like Crist, that is the only explanation I need to let me know just what the problem is with the republican party,. I talk to other people who are also disillusioned by the current party. Maybe it is time that someone in the local, state, and national organizations start listening to us.
Clinger is an immature young man whose complaint lacks wisdom and substance. He needs to grow up before he is taken seriously.
Clinger and gravitas — an oxymoron.
