This is clearly a conflict of interest, and exacerbates further the perception that special-interest dealing is standard operating procedure.

Ms.Robinson and her PAC-husband Eric, are a blight on independents from special interests

Commissioner Robinson, your serving on the Board of County Commissioners while you also hold a paid directorship with the influential Argus Foundation, simply does NOT pass the smell test, regardless of what any fancy County lawyer might say! Please resign from the County Commission for having even put us in this position.

Argus Foundation, Inc. Executive Director or Sarasota County Board of County Commissioner but not both at the same time. I have been a member of the Argus Foundation Inc. since 1985 and I have lived in Sarasota County for the past 34 years . I am a Registered Professional Engineer and a Registered Professional Surveyor in the State of Florida. I am the President of Minder & Associates Engineering Corporation, a 29 year old Consulting Engineering, Landscape Architecture And Surveying & Mapping Firm located in Sarasota County. I am appalled at The Sarasota County Attorney advising Sarasota County Commissioner Christine Robinson that she did not have a Conflict of Interest by accepting the Professional Position of Executive Director of the Argus Foundation, inc. while continuing to serve as a Sarasota County Commissioner. I have told Sarasota County Commissioner Christine Robinson that I will support her as the Executive Director of the Argus Foundation, Inc. or I will support her as Sarasota County Commissioner but I will not support her as serving in both positions at the same time. I have served on numerous Argus Foundation, Inc. Committees and I have served on Numerous Sarasota County
