Odd, so this is the reason that she is resigning, as opposed to all of the other reasons she should have left office like
her disregard for the First Amendment and her disregard for science

Not sure how the thought “they’ll never find out!” ever enters a politician’s head.

Narcissism. And a huge sense of entitlement.

A little more about the ex Lt. Governor.

“Lt. Gov. Carroll resigned in an effort to keep her former affiliation with the company from distracting from the administration’s important work on behalf of Florida Families,” Scott’s chief-of-staff Adam Hollingsworth explained to The Florida Times-Union.

Allied Veterans co-owner Jerry Bass, his lawyer and two top officers from Jacksonville’s Fraternal Order of Police were arrested on Tuesday after a raid on Internet cafes run by the nonprofit. Investigators suspect that Allied Veterans may have been using the Internet cafes for illegal gambling, money laundering, mail fraud and racketeering. The organization also may have lied when it said that it that it gave 70 percent of $290 million in profit to charity. Documents reportedly showed that only 2 percent were given to qualified nonprofits.

Carroll had been featured in a commercial for Allied Veterans in 2010 and she owned the firm 3N & JC, which did consulting work for the nonprofit organization.

As a member of the state House in 2010, Carroll came under fire for a conflict of interest after she proposed a bill to formally legalize gambling at Internet cafes. She later withdrew the bill and claimed a staffer had filed it without her knowledge.

Carroll was also accused of falsifying documents in 2011 that would have made her firm eligible for Jackson County grants for minority-owned companies, according to the Times-Union. Forged leased documents made it appear that the Clay County firm was located in Jackson County.

In 2012, Carroll responded to rumors that she was having a lesbian affair by asserting that women who look like her “don’t engage in relationships like that.”

I’ve been waiting for this to happen for quite some time. As I began to pay closer attention to Carroll, she seemed to be willing to do/say anything to advance her career, even if she knew it was wrong. IMO, as a Black female, I always thought that the main reasons Scott chose her as his #2 were to get blacks in FL to vote for her and to make it seem as if the GOP isn’t filled to the brim with racists and or those who tolerate them. She was, and will probably remain, a token for the GOP. I’m not trying to be harsh here, but brutally honest.
