Sansom still under fire

Even after resigning from his cushy, quid pro quo college job, Florida House Speaker Ray Sansom is still under fire for his perceived improprieties — and it’s not just from the other side of the aisle.

Tallahassee Republican Ray Bellamy has spent $6,000 of his own money to take out several ads in the Tallahassee Democrat calling on Governor Charlie Crist to investigate “the ethical and possibly criminal violations that may have occured.”

Alex Leary of the St. Petersburg Times gleaned the following comments from Mr. Bellamy:

The whole thing just infuriates me, the arrogance … It’s one thing to do these pork projects when economic times are good and you are benefiting your district. It’s a far different thing when you are making a job for yourself and lining your own pockets at a time in which you are preaching from a podium that says ‘fiscal responsibility.’ … I want this guy out.
