When Is A Gator A Rat?

Following up on our post yesterday regarding Jason Paul Rojas who was involved in hiding the FSU national championship Waterford crystal trophy, it turns out that this "upstanding" barrister was not truthful with his current employer.

Seems that Mr. Rojas is executive director of the legislative Hispanic caucus. Now the founder of the 15-member caucus, Miami Republican Rep. Juan Zapata, wants Rojas to lose his $55,000 a year job. Kudos to Mr. Zapata.

According to Zapata, Rojas failed to disolose his looming suspension. “It was a pretty lawyerly response: I'll show you I'm in good standing, but I won't show you that I'm facing a bar complaint,'' Zapata said. “This makes us all look bad at the caucus. We're doing criminal background checks on whomever we hire next."

I have a suggestion for Mr. Rojas. Let FSU hire him to polish the national championship trophy cases among his other janitor duties. Of course someone would have to keep a close watch on him. Once a rat always a rat.
