Dan Gelber says he quit law firm ‘last Thursday’ so why is resignation letter effective in ‘early July’?

in Statewide by

I guess at some point every Democrat is going to have to make a decision about who to support for attorney general.  Dave Aronberg or Dan Gelber?  ‘Cause you can’t vote for both, as much as we’d all like to. I haven’t fully made up my mind yet.  I want to hear what Gelber has to say tomorrow night at Bella Brava. But in the meantime, what troubles me — and many other Democrats — is the controversy over Gelber’s…

Dave Aronberg scores major political victory as Dan Gelber resigns from law firm representing BP

in Statewide by

Would it surprise anyone if the Dave Aronberg vs. Dan Gelber primary ended up being decided by a few thousand, maybe even a few hundred votes?  In such a razor-close race, any advantage either candidate can leverage may make all the difference. Dave Aronberg may be handed such an advantage by a story that has been developing today (which, yes, I did have a role in promoting) that Dan Gelber’s position with Akerman, Senterfitt would represent a major conflict of…
