Retain Jacobus

His status as a Crist appointment notwithstanding, Judge Bruce W. Jacobus has barely served a year on the 5th District Court of Appeal before having to face a merit retention vote.

Still, he is a fairly well-known quantity in this little corner of heaven.

He grew up in Melbourne, is a Gator grad, and had previously served for quite some time as a circuit court judge over in Viera.

In my humble estimation, he deserves to be retained on the bench.
