He has only been eight months on the job, but on Wednesday, Corrections Secretary Edwin Buss resigned abruptly.
Buss cited “differences in philosophy and management styles” for his departure.
Buss, who was praised as one of the top prison administrators in the country when Gov. Rick Scott stole him away from Indiana in December, had sent subtle signals that he was wary of the degree to which the governor’s office was driving policy, from a very broad move to privatize prisons to personnel and contracting decisions in the agency.
