Florida Gov. Rick Scott is losing yet another agency head after just a year in office.

Jack Miles, the secretary of the Department of Management Services, resigned from his $140,000 a year job on Tuesday. Miles plans to stay in his post until March 31.

Miles, who joined the Scott administration after retiring from the corporate world, becomes another in a line of officials who have left in the last few months. Two other agency heads announced their departures last month, including Secretary of State Kurt Browning.

Miles said on Wednesday that it was time to step down and that he had promised Scott he would stay through his first two legislative sessions.

Some of the administration shake-up has occurred after Scott brought in a new chief of staff.

When all those closest to him are running we should all fear. These are smart and capable people who took huge pay cuts to help the State, but they are dropping like flies… WHOA!

After running the ship state of Florida aground they should drug test the captain Governor Rick Scott and his Republican party.Maritime charges of running the ship state of Florida aground shall apply along with reckless abandonment of the citizen passenger crew. Salvage crews of democrats are to begin salvage efforts on the state of Florida as soon as the search for passenger citizen survivors is completed.The search for Captain Rick Scott and His Republican crew that abandoned the ship will continue…most believe they are upon distant shores drinking 100 year old scotch….to be continued
