From The Buzz Florida Politics:
“Effective immediately, I have decided to recuse myself from the exercise of my duties as Speaker of the House of Representatives. Ongoing legal proceedings have temporarily created an inability for me to carry out my responsibilities as Speaker. Under the House rules, during this temporary inability, Speaker pro tempore Larry Cretul will exercise all the duties, powers and prerogatives of Speaker.
Also, check out Orlando Sentinel’s Political Pulse:
Rep. Larry Cretul,R-Ocala, will assume the powers of speaker on a temporary basis and maybe for the rest of Sansom’s term, which runs through the 2010 election, said Rep. William Snyder, R-Stuart.
