The bitter feud between Florida Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll and a disgruntled aide escalated Monday as the aides attorney called for a state arson investigation into a trash can fire in Carrolls office and the state attorney said he may expand the charges against the aide, Carletha Cole.
Leon County State Attorney Willie Meggs, who charged Cole last October with giving an illegally taped conversation to a newspaper reporter, told the Herald/Times that he is considering additional charges against her for illegally recording the conversation she had with Carrolls chief of staff, John Konkus.
In the recording, Konkus is heard blaming internal office problems on Gov. Rick Scotts former Chief of Staff Steve MacNamara and accusing the governor of "not leading." Cole has declined comment. Coles attorney, Steven R. Andrews, denies his client made the recording.
After the recording surfaced on the Florida Times Union website last September, Cole, 51, was fired from her $42,500-a-year job as a senior program analyst for "conduct unbecoming."
