Well, damn! This doesn't look good at all. From Bay News 9 (Florida), about the conservative Republican politician: "Lieutenant Gov. Jennifer Carroll has turned in her resignation to Gov. Rick Scott. The governor's office confirmed Carroll submitted her resignation Tuesday. Scott will hold a presser on the resignation this afternoon."
More about the resignation: "Carroll's resignation was announced Wednesday morning, one day after she gave her resignation letter to Scott. His chief of staff, Adam Hollingsworth, said her resignation was spurred by an investigation into the Allied Veterans of the World. Officials from that nonprofit [I]nternet cafe company were recently arrested on racketeering charges. The owner was arrested Tuesday in connection to allegations that he made $290 million after supplying illegal gambling software in Florida and claiming the games' proceeds would benefit a veterans group. Authorities also interviewed Carroll. Carroll's ties to the company were questioned when she was in the Legislature when she proposed a bill that would benefit Internet cafes."
