Governor Rick Scott Appoints Mike Griffin to the Tampa Port Authority

Governor Rick Scott today announced the appointment of Mike Griffin to the Tampa Port Authority.

Governor Scott said, “Recently, I was concerned to see media reports detailing wasteful spending by the executives at Port Tampa Bay. The actions detailed in these reports should serve as a reminder of the importance of the oversight every appointee is charged with providing. I look forward to the Tampa Port Authority Governing Board reviewing policies to prevent wasteful spending by employees.
“I am confident that Mike Griffin will do a great job on the Tampa Port Authority and will work with the entire board to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars. Mike has committed to conduct a full analysis of prior and future expenditures by the Port and we know that the Board is focused on reviewing policies that concentrate on its core mission of serving as one of the state’s major economic and trade drivers.”
