AN OLD IDEA

JUDGE LUCK

Gov. Ron DeSantis has made an excellent choice in selecting Robert Luck for the Florida Supreme Court. I had the privilege of working with Robert for more than four years. He is a genuine, brilliant and humble public servant. In fact, Luck has dedicated his life to public service: He worked in the U.S. Senate; clerked in the Eleventh U.S. Court of Appeals; served as an Assistant United States Attorney; and became a well-respected judge with Florida’s Third District Court of Appeal.

Behind his impressive resume is an honest, hardworking man who is guided by an unwavering moral compass. At the U.S. Attorney’s Office, he handled challenging cases with unquestionable integrity and a deep commitment to justice and the rule of law. His work left the community safer and I know that he will bring the same judgment and leadership to our state’s Supreme Court.

Re the Jan. 15 op-ed by Ed J. Pozzuoli, “Charter schools can help underserved students realize the American Dream.” The article heralded the benefits of charter schools, which Pozzuoli’s law firm represents. However, there is a less expensive and more equitable way to assure all public school students have access to quality education.
