Sink recommends state rescinds civil rights for six offenders
by Michael C. Bender | September 28th, 2009Florida CFO Alex Sink sent a letter to Gov. Charlie Crist today urging him to let the Cabinet rescind the rights six of the 13 ex-offenders who mistakenly had their civil rights restored by the state.
Sink wants this to happen at the Cabinet meeting on Oct. 13. She agrees with Crist and the rest of the Cabinet last week to wait until the Clemency Board’s next meeting in December.
“I feel it is important for the safety of our citizens and in the best interest of our state to reverse the error of giving rights to these thirteen ex-offenders who did not qualify, while at the same time recognizing the differing circumstances of these cases,” Sink wrote.
