A grand jury Friday indicted former House Speaker Ray Sansom, saying he falsely secured $6 million in taxpayer money to construct and aircraft hangar for a friend and major Republican donor.
The grand jury also indicted Bob Richburg, the Northwest Florida State College president whose school got the money and has been pursuing plans for what the college has insisted is a college emergency management operations center.
”We believe that Speaker-designate Ray Sansom because of his friendship and political contributions violated the trust that the citizens of Florida should expect from its elected representatives,” a grand jury report reads.
