A state ethics panel says former Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll violated state law by failing to disclose financial information.
Carroll abruptly resigned in March 2013 after state investigators questioned the work she did for Allied Veterans of the World before she ran with Gov. Rick Scott.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement eventually concluded Carroll did not break any laws, but the agency asked the state ethics commission to review the case. The veterans charity was eventually accused of running an illegal gambling operation.
Carroll's company was paid nearly $100,000 by Allied Veterans in 2009 and 2010 for her work as a public relations consultant.
But Carroll, who was a state legislator at the time, did not initially report earning that much on either mandatory financial disclosure forms she filed with the state or on her federal income tax filings.
