Insurance commissioner in limbo

The job of Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty continues to hang in limbo.
Gov. Charlie Crist to date has said he's not ready to declare whether he wants to keep the insurance commissioner he inherited from Jeb Bush.
CFO Alex Sink also is keeping McCarty on the fence.
"I'm waiting for the governor to decide he is ready to take up the issue," Sink said Monday.
The insurance commissioner is hired by the four-member Financial Services Commission, a function of the Florida Cabinet, on which both Sink and Crist sit.
McCarty has received endorsements from an unusually broad spectrum, from consumer advocacy groups to business lobbyist Jon Shebel, the former Associated Industries of Florida president who now runs its workers compensation business.
