From MiamiHerald.com:
New hires and changes in the structure of the attorney general’s office have set the stage for Pam Bondi’s tenure as the first woman to serve as Florida’s chief legal officer.
Bondi said she will likely push for legislation to tighten Florida’s regulation of pain clinics. BP oil spill claims, Medicaid fraud and gangs will also be areas of emphasis, she said.
Most significant: On Friday, Bondi named former state Sen. Dave Aronberg, D-Greenacres, to a new post focusing on prescription pill abuse.
“He’s very familiar with this issue. He cares very deeply about this issue,” Bondi, a Republican, said of Aronberg, who lost the Democratic primary for attorney general.
The fact that he’s a Democrat, she said, doesn’t matter.
