CareerSource Florida Crown misses state deadline for action on ‘financial mismanagement’


LAKE CITY, Fla. (WCJB) – Officials with CareerSource Florida Crown have missed the deadline to comply with a demand from the state.

Leaders with the state Commerce Department demanded the workforce agency hand over the checkbook to another organization no later than Monday, citing “likely financial mismanagement” by staff members.

However, the Monday morning meeting was then canceled and according to Florida Crown’s executive director, is rescheduled for Friday.

A nonvoting member of the Florida Crown board says officials with the agency will also explain what’s going on at Thursday’s Columbia County Commission meeting.
