  • Episode 120: The Oral History of Amendment 10 and Protecting the Office of Sheriff: Part 2 – Florida’s 20-Year Quirk
    Nov 20 2024

    In the second installment of the Oral History of Amendment 10, we discuss Florida’s 20-year quirk – the Constitution Revision Commission. What is this commission and how is it able to directly put amendments on to the ballot for voters to approve or reject?

    We learn about the sheriffs’ efforts to work with this unique commission and how one commissioner, Martin County Clerk of Court Carolyn Timmann, would become instrumental in getting a constitutional amendment on the 2018 ballot to protect the elected Office of Sheriff and get Floridians one step closer to resurrecting the long-lost office of sheriff in Miami-Dade County.

  • Episode 119: The Oral History of Amendment 10 and Protecting the Office of Sheriff: Part 1-- The Bill that Died on the Floor
    Oct 15 2024

    In the first installment of the Oral History of Amendment 10, we discuss the past efforts that abolished the elected Office of Sheriff in several counties, and how, over many decades, sheriffs fought to regain their positions.

    Then, in 2017, a new state senator from Miami-Dade County introduced a bill to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot, ensuring that all voters could elect their sheriff.

    We revisit our audio archives to explore this significant bill, learning how it progressed through the legislative process through featured compelling testimony from sheriffs and others in committee, yet ultimately failed to pass by the session's end.
