THE CAPITAL, TALLAHASSEE, April 23, 2010Florida Republican leaders Friday removed the last ties ousted former chairman Jim Greer held to the party, stripping him of his position on the state executive board and his post as Seminole County state committeeman.

The move was approved by the 37-member party executive board, which huddled behind closed doors Friday at a downtown Tallahassee hotel. Greers successor, Sen. John Thrasher, R-St. Augustine, called the meeting to update members on a range of events including audits of party finances and a lawsuit filed by Greer against the party over a disputed severance package.

Greer did not attend the session.

I think people are just interested in how were dealing with it, Thrasher said. Beyond that, people are just get excited about the upcoming races.
