Taking the word “Parole” out of the title is fitting. The commission doesn’t want to parole any of the remaining parole eligible inmates because it could jeopardize their job. Also, if they show parole as a minor function of the commission it will extend their usefulness.

@ well & DHG:

Yup, new fad to rename or “REBRANDING” makes a huge difference…NOT..!!
Pensacola, City of Five Flags (tells about the area) = Good
Pensacola, the Upside of Florida = What the heck does this mean, Dumb.
Pensacola Regional Airport = FAA current designation and descriptive.
Pensacola International Airport = Go there and ask for direct flight to London England…..no can do, Dumb name.

DHG advice to Michael….good advice, give it a try and save lots of money.

Michael,
As long as your felony conviction wasn’t for violence or as a sexual predator, and you have fulfilled your sentence completely and made full restitution to those who you harmed, you shouldn’t have any problem restoring your right to vote, serve in Congress, sit in judgment on a jury or bear arms.

If your lawyer charged that much, there may have been extenuating circumstances since you don’t need a lawyer normally, per:

“Members of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition are available to assist you with this process, free of charge. We can help you complete your application, put together your portfolio, and prepare for your hearing, if your case requires one. You may contact the FRRC at info@restorerights.org, or 786-363-2731.”

“You do not need an attorney to apply for RCR.”

What a waste of taxpayer money. Don;t these politicians know how much money it cost to change the name of an agency?

The name is not important. I’ve been waiting since 1996 for my civil rights to be restored. They need to meet more than 4 times a year. Over $60k in lawyer fees is simply a waste.
