Congrats Florida: Rick Scott Taps 29 YO Travel Aide as New Director of Hurricanes (Goes to Wonkette)

Continuing to prove government doesn’t work, conservatives put people in to ensure that:

So it’s funny — funny weird, not funny Wonkette — that Rick Scott’s director of Emergency Management has chosen now to take an opportunity in the private sector. And that his replacement as director of Emergency Management is a 29-year-old former campaign travel aide, who has more than a year’s experience as the last director’s chief of staff. What else has young master Wes Maul got on the old CV?

According to Maul’s application with the state, while he was in law school he worked for three years at Barbri Inc. as a “student rep for a review course,” spent six months doing legal writing and electronic discovery in UF’s Office of General Counsel and worked for three months as a “summer associate” at Mezzanine Fund. He does not have any prior emergency management experience. Maul’s LinkedIn page also shows he worked for one year at Mattress Town of Gainesville before graduating from law school.

No International Arabian Horse Association? Is that even LEGAL?

Barbri is a law school, entangled in a $50M anti-trust lawsuit.

Mattress Town, while it may be a good business, hardly qualifies one for a state-level government post. Mezzanine Fund (for which he worked as an associate for three months), is a fund that specialises in mezzanine loans for capital.
