Gov. Rick Scott has appointed local attorney Paul Militello to serve as a county judge in Sumter County.
Militello, 51, of Ocala, will fill a vacancy left by retired County Judge Thomas Skidmore, who is probably best known in The Villages for the sentencing in the now-infamous “Sex on the Square” case. You can read more about that HERE
