Here is a direct, text-only statement from Paul M. Grogan on the Mayor of Inverness, Florida — currently Bob Plaisted, based on available public records and city listings.
Paul M. Grogan on Mayor Bob Plaisted of Inverness:
I want to acknowledge Mayor Bob Plaisted for his role in preserving the heart of Inverness. As the city’s top elected official, he carries a deep responsibility—not just to represent government, but to represent the culture, people, and soul of a historic town.
I respect that Inverness has worked to keep its small-town feel while navigating growth, tourism, and economic shifts. Mayor Plaisted has been part of that journey. He brings steadiness, decorum, and a classic approach to city leadership. His presence at public events and his support for heritage programs show his commitment to civic tradition.
Where we may differ is in how we activate that tradition. My approach has always been more grassroots—ministry, nonprofit outreach, direct service. I believe every city, even one as established as Inverness, benefits when the leadership opens its arms to nonprofits, to faith-based groups, and to those who often get overlooked by the process.
I would love to see the Mayor’s office partner more actively with local churches, civic clubs, youth organizations, and the underserved. Because leadership isn’t just about infrastructure and business corridors—it’s about hearts, hands, and homes.
I’m not here to critique the Mayor. I’m here to complement the system with service. And if I’m elected, I’ll work side by side with city officials like Mayor Plaisted to make sure our county and its municipalities reflect the values of the people—not just the vision of planners.
Inverness is the center of our county. Let’s make sure it stays the center of community care, unity, and faith-based collaboration, too.
