St. Petersburg Accident Lawyer Criticizes Governor's Firing Of FDLE Commissioner

SAINT PETERSBURG, Fla. - May 13, 2015 - PRLog -- On December 16 2014, Gerald Bailey, who is a former Florida Department Of Law Enforcement Commissioner, was forced to resign. Bailey had been working in law enforcement for 30 years. Governor Rick Scott's top lawyer reportedly gave Bailey three hours to get his things together and forced him to resign as the Florida Department Of Law Enforcement Commissioner.

Bailey has accused Governor Scott of engaging in some crooked acts. According to Bailey, Scott meddled in Florida Department Of Law Enforcement affairs for over a year. Scott also reportedly pressured Bailey to smear the name of a court clerk in Orange County.

Jeff Atwater, who is the Chief Financial Officer, was the first of the cabinet members to break with Governor Scott. Pam Bondi and Adam Putman, who are also cabinet members, has distanced themselves from Scott. Adam Putman is the Agriculture Commissioner and Pam Bondi is the Attorney General.

Rick Swearingen was appointed as the Florida Department Of Law Enforcement Commissioner after Gerald Bailey was forced to resign. Scott stated that no one else was considered as the replacement FDLE commissioner. He says his cabinet can look for a new FDLE commissioner, but he will not support it.

Senator Arthenia Joyner stated that citizens should file a complaint with the State Commissions of Ethics. She says that Scott has misused his office. She also describes Scott's handling of the FDLE commissioner as disastrous.

The firing of Gerald Bailey has also been criticized by St. Petersburg accident lawyer Michael Babboni. Babboni had the following to say about the firing of Gerald Bailey, "The fact that he misled his own cabinet regarding the circumstances surrounding Bailey's departure is troubling. But given Scott's background and track record, should Florida voters be surprised at Scott's deception?"

Babboni has acknowledged Jeff Atwater's decision to break with Governor Rick Scott, but he does not understand why Attorney General Pam Bondi was the last of the cabinet members to do so. Babboni said the following about Pam Bondi, “As Attorney General, she should have been the first Cabinet member to question the manner as to why Bailey’s tenure was ended and why the Cabinet was kept in the dark.”
