Mike Haridopolos Lauds Gov. Rick Scott's Pick for DMS Head

Senate President Mike Haridopolos, R-Merritt Island, applauded Gov. Rick Scott's pick as head of the Department of Management Services --Jack Miles, the former senior director at CIGNA --and indicated he would likely get a smooth ride through the confirmation process.

I want to congratulate Governor Scott for hiring someone with proven business experience to lead the Department of Management Services. Jack Miles will bring business acumen to this agency and play a critical role in helping the Legislature and Governor Scott streamline state contracts so that we reduce spending in a smart way. I look forward to meeting with Secretary Miles as he prepares for his confirmation hearing in the Senate," Haridopolos said.
