From the Orlando Sentinel:

TALLAHASSEE - House Speaker Ray Sansom bowed to mounting pressure Monday and resigned his $110,000-a-year job at a Panhandle college, acknowledging the controversy over his role in steering millions in state dollars to the school before being given the position.

The Destin Republican had been under siege since news broke that he had accepted the job as vice president at Northwest Florida State College on the same day in November that he was sworn in as speaker. Sansom was to be paid $25,000 more than his predecessor, and the college didn't advertise the job.

It was subsequently disclosed that during the past two years, he had steered more than $30 million in state funds to the college, from which he and his wife graduated in the 1980s.

Like Evelyn Lynn, Sansom grudgingly acquiesced to political pressure. The media needs to keep watching these two because they are shady.
