This comes just a day after Steele telling Florida Today “I’m not changing my vote,” adding that “this thing has turned into a political hot football.”
Steele, said he believes the vote to reduce the Supervisor of Elections total budget from Bobanic’s original proposal is needed. He said the proposed increase over 19% was “completely out of line.”

Steele said, mailing every voter a sample ballot is, “in my opinion, a waste of public money.”
“It’s not economically feasible for the county to pay to mail out sample ballots,” Steele said.
