The visit to the Clerk of the Circuit Court was yet another interesting visit. Very informative and learned a lot of new things that will help me in the future. Beginning with Pat Frank, she is a very intelligent, spunky, and honest person. She did not beat around the bush; which I thought was a great part of her personality. Pat got right to the point with everything. She noted how the economy is right now, and what she feels should be done to make it better. Her opinion means a lot being that she has been in the business for many years, and has experience. As a public official Pat Frank represents our county in a very positive manner. Pat continues to perform with excellence as we can tell the citizens of Hillsborough County continue to elect her. Through out her speech she encouraged us to use the website and become familiar with what is accessible to us as young reporters; we are in our prime the website is a service provided to us as a tool to make our work accurate and current.
Another fact that was mentioned was that the clerk's office performs nearly 1,000 different constitutional and statutory functions or duties, representing the broadest and most diverse mantle of responsibility of any locally elected official.
Douglas Bakke, Director of Family Law, Domestic Violence, Collections Operations, and Sealing and Expungement Unit, was an extraordinary speaker. Even though he was given a short time to speak he was still full of useful information, and interesting new facts. It was also interesting to find out what they deal with on a day to day basis; we tend to take for granted what people like Doug do for us a community.
And Dana Caranante is the Director of Juvenile Court operations. Her short bit was probably the most interesting because none of it is public information because it is dealing with minors; the only people who have access to that is a parent or guardian, or law enforcement.
