Indict John Hitt and Evelyn Lynn

A grand jury indicted Ray Sansom and the President of Northwest Florida State College, Bob Richburg, on a felony charge of official misconduct. Sansom steered funding to Richburg’s school, and Richburg gave him a highly paid administrative position.

Senator Evelyn Lynn suggested she was interested in pulling funding from UCF’s Daytona Campus. To save their funding, UCF hired Lynn’s unemployed daughter for 80K a year.

There are some nuanced differences between the cases, but essentially the same thing happened. Lynn abused her power for personal gain, and Hitt went along with it. There is probable cause that Hitt and Lynn committed a crime; both should be prosecuted.
