Florida's Office of Insurance Regulation was being investigated today over allegations that state office equipment was use to prepare invitations to a political fundraiser.
The flap--which has cost one employee his job--was revealed yesterday when the state's chief financial officer, Democrat Adelaide "Alex" Sink, announced she was having her department's inspector general investigate.
She said she took the action after learning that Republican Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty "was reportedly the sole host for a political fundraiser" for Robin Lotane--the wife of Mr. McCarty's communications director, Bob Lotane.
