Fla. CFO Expands Investigation into Office of Insurance Regulation

Six days after directing her Inspector General to investigate whether state computers were used for political purposes in the Office of Insurance Regulation, Fla. Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink directed the I.G. to ask Gov. Charlie Crist’s Chief Inspector General, as well as the Inspectors General for Attorney General Bill McCollum and Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson, to conduct a joint investigation.

“At this time, I feel it is necessary for the Governor and Cabinet to work together to expand the investigation,” Sink said. “I am grateful for their cooperation and willingness to go forward so that we can get to the bottom of this situation for the people of Florida.”
