Crist calls for statewide grand jury investgation of South Florida corruption
by Michael C. Bender | October 14th, 2009
Gov. Charlie Crist is holding a press conference right now calling for a statewide grand jury to investigate political corruption in South Florida and around the state. Crist said he has removed 30 public officials from office around the state since hes been governor.
A recent rash of crimes committed by public officials in South Florida has led to a crisis of confidence among those who have elected them to office, Crist said. Today, I have petitioned the Florida Supreme Court to impanel a Grand Jury to investigate these crimes, bring indictments and provide specific recommendations to address fundamental problems within the system that may be cultivating a culture of corruption.
Read the petition here.
