Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink has appointed former state Comptroller Bob Milligan as the state's Insurance Consumer Advocate and announced a new initiative to grant Milligan more tools to respond to consumers' complaints. Milligan served in the Marine Corp for 35 years, rising to the rank of a three-star lieutenant general. He served as the state's comptroller from 1994 to 2004 when, as part of the reorganization of the state Cabinet, the comptroller's office was combined with the former Department of Insurance to form the CFO position. Milligan is a highly regarded official who is known as putting public policy above political considerations.

“I'm so honored that General Milligan has agreed to return to public service as Florida's Insurance Consumer Advocate,” said Sink. “He will be a strong advocate for the people and is a role model of integrity, honesty, and accountability in government.”

“Together CFO Sink and I will also be searching for new insurance solutions that will increase competition, stabilize the market, and offer consumers more choices,” said Milligan.
