The civil and criminal cases surrounding embattled former Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer took another bizarre turn Thursday, with Greer's attorney and a lawyer for the party disagreeing over whether the sides are discussing a potential settlement.

Damon Chase, who represents Greer, said the two sides are still trying to hammer out a deal that would settle Greer's lawsuit against the party. Chase emailed reporters a copy of an agreement to keep those talks confidential Thursday.

"We've been talking about a settlement this whole time," Chase said.

Jim Rogers, Duke Energy president, said he will go before Floridas energy regulators to discuss how the North Carolina-based companys $18 billion merger with Progress Energy will impact customers in the Sunshine State.

During a conference call with analysts on Thursday to discuss the companys second-quarter results, Rogers said he will address the Florida Public Service Commission, at their request, on Aug. 13.

I look forward to reaffirming our commitment to our customers in Florida, Rogers said.
