Ethics Lawyer: DeSantis' Disney Chief Cannot Hold Dual Posts

Glen Gilzean, the chairman of Florida's ethics commission, cannot simultaneously serve as the administrator of Governor Ron DeSantis' Disney World oversight district, according to a legal opinion. State law prohibits public employees from being on the government watchdog panel, and Gilzean's position as district administrator is considered public employment. The potential conflict of interest was brought to light by an investigative report, prompting Gilzean to request the legal opinion. The ethics commission is responsible for investigating breaches of public trust by public officers and employees.
