Samson is being investigated for taking a six figure job with Northwest Florida College after funneling more than 25 million dollars to the hometown college, helping the college trustees meet out of the sunshine, and for funding a six million dollar airplane hanger through the college for a contributor.
Sansom was sacked as House Speaker by his colleagues after he tried to step down temporarily. A new Speaker will be sworn in when lawmakers begin their annual session on March 3rd.
