Miner appointed number-two as dust settles in county clerk’s office

When the St Johns County voters elected Clerk of Court, Hunter Conrad, they did so over a more experienced chief deputy who was already in office, George Larue.  Now Conrad has turned his back on those voters, surrendering his elected office a year early.  He has accepted an appointed position made vacant after the abrupt firing of the embattled County Administrator; a controversial move made without advance public notice.
