The official word out of Tallahassee is that Gov. Rick Scott remains in no hurry to fill the job of lieutenant governor. Certainly not while the Democratic field remains far from settled. Scott Chief of Staff Adam Hollingsworth, who’s in charge of the search, says the key Lt-Gov. criteria is basic. The Jennifer Carroll successor must be someone who has “the same policy mind-set as the governor, has the same vision for moving Florida forward, and would do it with an integrity that is consistent with the governor’s character.”
Only one, seemingly obvious, problem: The key criteria should eliminate, well, everybody.
