TALLAHASSEE, Florida — Florida's lieutenant governor has resigned
because of her ties to an Internet cafe company that is now under
federal investigation.

Jennifer Carroll's resignation was announced Wednesday, one day after
she gave her resignation letter to Gov. Rick Scott. His chief of staff,
Adam Hollingsworth, says her resignation was spurred by an investigation
into the Allied Veterans of the World, which was once represented by
Carroll.

Officials from that nonprofit Internet 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.

Hard to imagine a politician too crooked to serve with Rick Scott.

It is still unclear that Ms Carroll actually had anything to do with
the fraud. This is one of those "gambling for charity" things like the
ones that were so popular in Maryland when I was up there.
They had casinos in the name of charity but the charity got little of
the collected money ... like most big charities.

Personally I think if we are going to have the government in the
gambling business, we should have a regulated gambling industry for
everyone else.

She resigned without any warning. Smells guilty to me. Scott is up to
his hips in the same deal. Couldin't happen to a better guy.
