FLORIDA STATE HIGHWAY OFFICIALS RESIGN

A top official in Florida’s highway agency and her deputy have resigned or using State employees for personal gain. Kelley Scott, director of administrative services for the Florida highway agency, and Shane Phillips, the agency’s chief of office services, submitted their resignations Monday. They quit after an internal investigation indicated the employees were sent to Scott’s home in south Georgia to clean up fallen tree limbs and connect a generator after Hurricane Michael. The Inspector General’s report said Phillips wasn’t forthcoming with information and investigators had to interview him three times to get pertinent information.
