Breaking: Ethics Commission votes to remove Underhill from office

This morning the State Commission on Ethics voted to remove Escambia County Commissioner Doug Underhill from office, primarily because he released confidential documents regarding a shade meeting. The board’s attorney called Underhill’s action “an absolute disregard for the law.”

Commissioner Underhill will definitely appeal. Gov. DeSantis will have to make decision whether to remove him from office.

We will have more on this later.
