Just some miscellaneous ramblings from an Upstate New Yorker.

What To and Not Do as Lieutenant Governor: Florida Edition

In a post from February, I noted how Rick Sheehy, the lieutenant governor of Nebraska resigned due to having made 2,000+ phone calls to four different women. Well, he now has good company, in that of (former) Florida Lieutenant Governor Jennifer Carroll has resigned due to ethics complaints. Quoting the Washington Post:
Florida Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll (R)  has resigned her post as a nonprofit organization she was involved in is investigated on racketeering charges.
“Lt. Gov. Carroll resigned in an effort to keep her former affiliation with the company from distracting from the administration’s important work on behalf of Florida Families,” a spokesman for Gov. Rick Scott (R) told the Jacksonville Times.
Another politician whose in it for the money. The Washington Post article noted how her non-profit was "money laundering, siphoning profit funds and misrepresenting how much money went to charity." Serious stuff.

Interesting. I'll note how both of them are Republicans. This all occurred last week, and being busy with work, I had no time to comment. As many of you know, I plan to run for Lieutenant Governor of New York in 2026 (see the same link as in the first paragraph).
