We recommend...
12th Judicial Circuit Public Defender: Larry Eger
"Eger's credentials include 23 years in the office, currently as the chief assistant in charge of the Manatee County office. His budget and management experience will be essential in order to cut costs....Eger's strong administrative skills are more vital for this position. We recommend Larry Eger for the office of public defender in the 12th Judicial Circuit."

"Eger is a smart administrator. The job requires more of an administrator/leader, along with a dose of public relations politician. Eger meets more the of the qualifications."

"...the edge goes to Eger because of his management experience...Eger seems likely to be able to hit the ground running. And given all the issues the office has to contend with, that factor is more than enough reason for the Pelican Press to support Larry Eger for public defender."
And from State Attorney Earl Moreland:
"He's been an excellent administrator in the Bradenton office. And these days that's very important, given the size of our offices and budget cuts that keep coming down."--Moreland, Pelican Press, Aug. 7, 2008
