Michael Walker, Deputy Secretary of the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, has resigned his position. In late June, the DBPR’s Inspector General released a report resulting from an investigation of claims of sexual and racial harassment against Captain Rodney Tilley, a member of the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco. The investigation uncovered information which linked Walker to comments encouraging staff to follow orders given by the agency, even if they are immoral or unethical. Walker denies making the statement and cited no specific reason for leaving in his resignation letter.
