Welcome to

Florida’s Governor and another top state official are still in a standoff over who should be the state’s next chief insurance regulator.

Governor Rick Scott and Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater need to agree with each other on who the next Florida Insurance Commissioner can be before they can be hired…but for the second meeting in a row, they failed to agree on one candidate.  Florida’s Attorney General tried to move the process forward.

“I think, gentleman, if you’re not going to budge on one of these candidates, then you need to say that so we can just strike them off the list and move on, because again we’re entering hurricane season,” said Pam Bondi.

There will be a special cabinet meeting Friday to further consider more candidates.
