Gulf Stream: Dering won't run for new term

Garrett Dering

    No matter how Gulf Stream decides to run its elections, Commissioner Garrett Dering says his days as a town commissioner are numbered.

    “I have no intention of running for election this time,” he told commissioners. So, if you’re going to have an election, I have no dog in this hunt.”
    Dering, 67, was appointed to the commission in October 2011 to fill the seat of Chris Wheeler, who moved from the town. Dering was unopposed the following March for the remaining two years of Wheeler’s term.
    A certified public accountant and retired partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Kentucky native bought his Ballantrae condo in 1999.

    Dering told commissioners the decision to give up the seat is firm: “What did Lyndon Johnson say? If nominated, I will not accept. If elected, I will not serve.”

  • Too bad Mr. Dering is leaving. This is one commissioner that actually asked questions. Especially about the budget.
