More wing-nuttery at DC&F
Regier appointee linked to wing-nutty rightwing group in New York.
James H.K. Bruner, recently hired as a high-ranking lawyer for the Department of Children & Families, was a featured speaker -- along with subway gunman Bernhard Goetz -- at a New York rally that decried the ''tyranny'' of the United Nations and used a U.N. flag as a floor mat.
And a website maintained by a group called the Patriot Saints for the Kingdom of God on Earth, which says governments should not provide human services to the needy, lists Bruner, 45, as a member of the chapter in his former home city of Albany, N.Y.
And of course it doesn't matter that the state of Florida will pay him $82,000 for legal advice when he's not even licensed to practice law in Florida.
Another qualification: His dad was Jeb's dad's minister. But he was hired strictly on his qualifications.
