In an effort to show the state and perhaps the rest of the country that Florida no longer will tolerate pill mills, Gov. Rick Scott and Attorney General Pam Bondi teamed up Monday to announce the state's new Statewide Drug Strike Force.
The force will consist of targeted efforts of local law enforcement officials, and coordinated by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The force will be given $800,000 for the task, funded by unused residual grants, FDLE Commissioner Gerald Bailey said.
