TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - The abrupt ouster of the leader of Floridas main law-enforcement agency could lead to a major shake-up in how the state Cabinet and the governor hire top officials.
Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam on Wednesday called for an overhaul of how the state Cabinet approves agency heads. Putnam also wants to change how the governor and Cabinet oversee several departments.
Floridas other two Cabinet members, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater, also expressed concerns about the appointment process after Gov. Rick Scott forced the resignation of Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Gerald Bailey and then asked the Cabinet to name his hand-picked replacement to the job.
All three Republican Cabinet members last week approved Rick Swearingen to replace Bailey, but after the vote said they werent aware that Bailey, who had held the position since late 2006, was forced to step down. Bailey later told the Tampa Bay Times/Miami Herald about political interference and unethical requests from Scott, his staff and his campaign team.
The uproar over Baileys ouster has prompted calls for outside investigations and other state elected officials to question what happened. Democratic legislators this week said the states ethics panel should consider probing the incident, while outside watchdog group Integrity Florida said it has a sent a letter to a federal prosecutor and the FBI requesting them to look into Baileys allegations.
The recent process behind the appointment of a new FDLE Commissioner has raised serious questions, and those questions should be answered to ensure transparency, and the publics right to know, Bondi said in a news release.
She said she wants the matter to be addressed at the next Cabinet meeting Feb. 5.
Many agency heads, including those in charge of the states health department and prison system, report only to the governor. But a handful of agencies report to both the governor and the three Cabinet members.
Atwater sent a letter to Scott on Tuesday night saying he wants to do a new search for an FDLE commissioner. Scott replied in his own letter that a new search could be done, but then stated he wants to keep Swearingen in the job to prevent unnecessary turmoil. Scott then said he wants to discuss firing three other state officials, including Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty. He said government should frequently change leadership to bring in new ideas and fresh energy.

Ouster of Florida's top cop could spark power shift

TALLAHASSEE Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater wants the Florida Cabinet to reconsider how it handled the controversial change in leadership at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
But Gov. Rick Scott is not backing the request. Instead, the governor would like the cabinet to discuss making additional leadership changes at the Office of Insurance Regulation, the Office of Financial Regulation and the Department of Revenue.
Atwater sent a letter Tuesday to Scott expressing concern with the way longtime FDLE Commissioner Gerald Bailey left the agencys top job. Atwater added that even though a replacement was approved last week, a search should be held for a new commissioner.

A professional search would give the residents of Florida a full and complete understanding of the qualifications of the person selected to lead one of the states largest law enforcement agencies, and help reassure the employees of FDLE that the agencys leadership will be in the hands of a highly qualified individual with an unimpeachable reputation, Atwater wrote to Scott.
But Scott rejected the request, responding in a letter to Atwater that he would not support replacing the newly named commissioner in order to avoid unnecessary turmoil within the FDLE.
The FDLE commissioner position is a cabinet-level appointment. The cabinet last week approved Scotts second-term recommendation of Rick Swearingen, the former head of the Capitol Police, as the new FDLE leader.
Cabinet members Atwater, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam said after the meeting they had been advised that Bailey resigned but acknowledged they did not inquire into the circumstances.
Scott told reporters that Bailey had resigned. Bailey, however, disputed that, telling the Tampa Bay Times that I did not voluntarily do anything. A spokeswoman for Scott later that day issued a statement that the governor thinks its important to frequently get new people into government positions of leadership.

Amid FDLE controversy, Scott wants more agency changes
TALLAHASSEE Florida Cabinet members are turning up the heat on Gov. Rick Scott over the botched removal of a top state police official, with Attorney General Pam Bondi raising "serious questions" about Scott's conduct.
Bondi on Wednesday became the last of the three elected Republican Cabinet members to distance herself from the ouster last month of Gerald Bailey as commissioner of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Bailey alleges that Scott and his aides meddled in law enforcement business and used strong-arm tactics to pressure him to resign.
Taking indirect aim at Scott on his preference for secrecy over transparency, Bondi said that she and the public have a right to know the truth and that she would insist that the Bailey matter be discussed "thoroughly and in the sunshine" at the next Cabinet meeting Feb. 5.
"The recent process behind the appointment of a new FDLE commissioner has raised serious questions, and those questions should be answered to ensure transparency and the public's right to know," Bondi said in a statement that held back on explicitly criticizing Scott or anyone in his administration.
The firing has mushroomed into the messiest controversy of Scott's governorship and tarnished the start of his second term. At the same time, Cabinet members, at least two of whom are expected to run for governor in 2018, are frantically trying to extricate themselves from an issue that they could have avoided.
By law, the head of the FDLE works for the governor and Cabinet. All three Cabinet members have said they did not anticipate Bailey's ouster, but not one of them publicly questioned the decision at last week's Cabinet meeting. Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam was the first to fault Scott's actions.
Bondi's extended silence was watched closely by the state's close-knit law enforcement network because, as the state's chief legal officer, her office works with law enforcement officials at all levels.
"I take the rule of law very seriously, especially in matters affecting the safety and security of the people of Florida," Bondi said.
Her statement came a day after Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater broke ranks with Scott and fellow Cabinet members, calling for a new search for Bailey's replacement. Rick Swearingen, a 30-year FDLE employee, was Scott's handpicked choice for the job.
"We need a better process," Atwater said. "One that's transparent."

Attorney General Pam Bondi joins Cabinet scrutiny of Gov. Rick Scott's actions in FDLE firing
TALLAHASSEE --
The controversy continues over the head of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
Gov. Rick Scott got rid of the old commissioner and has already picked a new one, but Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater wants him to reconsider that choice.
Atwater is a statewide elected official with an obscure title, but now he's becoming a powerful voice in a scandal brewing in the governor's office.
"The allegations that I've read, I think, are serious," he said.
When the Florida Cabinet voted last week to pick a replacement for long-time FDLE Commissioner Jerry Bailey, Atwater said he assumed Bailey retired voluntarily, so he voted yes.
It was only after Atwater voted that he learned Bailey was forced out by Scott. Bailey said he was let go because of campaign politics.
Atwater said that he wants a new vote now.
"You're right: we can always do better," he said. "Why don't you bring some recommendations to the Cabinet? Secondly, the Cabinet can open, revisit, the selection process of the commissioner."
On the state Cabinet, every member is created equal. It doesn't matter if you are the governor, the attorney general, the agricultural commissioner or the chief financial officer. That means that what Scott says isn't necessarily the final word.
