The FBI has begun investigating a web of political and personal
connections that have already resulted in state indictments of former
House Speaker Ray Sansom and two associates.
The specter of a
federal grand jury complicates and intensifies matters for Sansom,
Okaloosa County developer Jay Odom and the former president of
Northwest Florida State College, Bob Richburg. The men face felony
charges over allegedly securing $6 million in taxpayer money for a
college building that Odom may have planned to use for his corporate
jet business.
An FBI agent recently started collecting
information in the case and other issues, though the scope and interest
is unknown. (story here)
