Scott on Carroll Saga
August 1st, 2012 by flanewsMore bad news for Lieutenant Governor Jennifer Carroll tonight. Her brother-in-law is now facing charges for supplying two pill mills with prescription drugs. Carroll said in a statement she knew nothing of the practice. The arrest comes as a former Carroll employee accuses her having a sexual relationship with a female staffer. Governor Rick Scott, who has remained silent on the allegations against Carroll, was asked about the situation this afternoon.
“Jennifer is working hard. She’s working very hard to make sure my agenda gets implemented and its jobs, jobs, jobs and that’s what she is doing everyday,” said Scott.
The former employee making the allegations is Carletha Cole. Cole is facing a felony for distributing an illegal recording believed to be made in Carroll’s office.
