Christianna said she’s bound and determined to work hard and make the sacrifices necessary to be successful. Congratula- tions to Christianna as this week’s Spotlight.
Virtual Retirement Celebration Planned For Commissioner Les Miller
BY GWEN HAYES Sentinel Editor
Hillsborough County Commissioner Lesley “Les” Miller, Jr. will at- tend his final meeting for the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners on Thursday, November 12, 2020. This will bring to a close a career of nearly 50 years as a public servant, where he has served as an elected official, committee- man and volunteer.
The Virtual Retirement Reception will be held on Fri- day, November 13, 2020, 3-5 p. m. Those who previously registered have been emailed their instructions to sign on for the event.
When asked about his plans for retirement,
LESLEY ‘LES’ MILLER, JR. ...Retiring after 24 years, 56 days, as an elected official
Comm. Miller said, “the first thing I plan to do is try to rest, especially during the holidays. It’s been a long
time since I’ve been able to just rest, or take a vacation,” he said.
“The first of the year, I plan to do some other retire- ment things, like playing golf.
“I may be retiring from this office, but I’m not going anywhere. I’ll still serve on several boards; I’ll be volun- teering in the community, and assisting other candi- dates seeking public office,” he concluded.
Comm. Miller spent 56 days as a Tampa City Coun- cilman; 14 years as a Florida politician; and 10 years as a Hillsborough County Com- missioner.
Former Hillsborough County employee (retired), Gwendolyn (Gwen) Myers was elected last week to replace Miller.
