Barreto, of Miami, was appointed to the Commission in
August 2001 and was reappointed in February 2007. This will be his
fourth term as chairman. He was elected chairman in 2004, and his fellow
commissioners re-elected him in 2006 and 2007.
Yablonski began his term on the FWC in January 2004. His
fellow commissioners elected him vice chairman in September 2007.
Yablonski’s term as an FWC Commissioner runs through January 2009.
