Something rubs me the wrong way about Mr. Michel. Something in his speech I saw from the first meeting in January of this year just made me nervous.

Reminds me of Mr. Delhomme. That's not a good thing.

Michel doesn't run away from his conviction. It happened in 1978 and he was working for an anti-poverty agency.

He helped Haitian immigrants file false documents to obtain resident alien status.
He says the Government prosecuted him after he refused to turn over a list of people he had helped. ''In the 70's, the Government was like a bounty hunter,'' he said, Port-au-Prince still in his voice after 34 years in this country. ''I could not reveal the names to Immigration so they could go after these people. I would never give up my people.''

....Michel also has experience with law enforcement dating back many years; when he found himself in trouble with the Feds for having forged immigration papers in exchange for money. A nice side business for himself. But, that matter didn't stop him from being appointed as a deputy by Sheriff Kralik (needed that voting communities support), why should it interfere with this appointment to this important post either….....ahhh….politics.
