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:
