Atwater calls allegations “Serious”

Florida CFO Jeff Atwater has called for the Governor to reopen the decision to fire former FDLE Director Gerald Bailey. Reports have surfaced saying Bailey was fired for refusing to allow executive branch staffers to meddle in police investigations and rebuking efforts by the Scott Campaign. Atwater wouldn’t use the word mislead when asked but isn’t happy with how the firing was handled. “I thought there had been conversations that he wanted to step down, or was choosing to step down,and I think to that extent, it creates again, the need to have a very open process, selection process” says Atwater.

Atwater calls the allegations of meddling “serious”.
