Bill Bankhead has died from cancer at age 64.
One of the local stations included this bit from Sen. King
Former Senate President Jim King, R-Jacksonville, engineered a provision during the 2004 legislative session dealing with state
employee benefits to help Bankhead keep his health insurance if he left government.
"He's a guy who has given most of his life to public service," King said. "We had been served well by him."
