I would like to give a "Friend of the FlashReport" shout to newly appointed Riverside County Supervisor John Benoit. He was appointed late last week by Governor Schwarzenegger, and had tendered his resignation from the State Senate effective yesterday, and was all set to be sworn in today…
It turns out, though, that if Benoit delays his resignation from the Senate for just a little while, it will likely allow one of the two special elections (the "general") to fill his vacant Senate seat to be held in conjunction with the June primary, saving taxpayers the expense of an extra election.
Knowing how John is ready and anxious to roll up his sleeves and start "Supervising" at the County, I think it speaks volumes about his advocacy for taxpayers that he has decided to wait a few more weeks before leaving the Senate.
Kudos!
