The past nine months or so just ain't been good for Jennifer Carroll, who y'all know resigned yesterday. This latest news certainly kills her political career. From ABC News, about the conservative Republican politician: "Florida's lieutenant governor has resigned and 57 people have been
charged amid a $300 million gambling operation allegedly masked as a
veterans charity. 'Operation Reveal the Deal uncovered a sophisticated racketeering and
money laundering scheme stemming from 49 illegal gambling centers
operating under the guise of 'internet cafes,'' investigators wrote in a
statement."
More about the situation: "Carroll said in a statement that she has and will fully cooperate with
the investigation and does not believe that she or her company are
targets of the investigation. 'I simply refuse to allow the allegations facing a former client of my
public relations firm to undermine the important work of the governor
and his administration,' she wrote."
The article continues: "Gov. Scott refused to talk about the investigation, but supported Carroll's decision to resign. 'I will not elaborate on the details of her resignation further, other
than to say that she resigned and she made the right decision for the
state and her family,' Scott said."
