Torey L. Alston and Angela H. Rouson's appointments to the FAMU Board of Trustees were among the 154 appointments that Gov. Rick Scott withdrew yesterday.In a letter to the Florida Senate, Scott withdrew scores of appointments that former Gov. Charlie Crist made to various Florida boards and commissions. New Florida governors typically rescind most of the unconfirmed appointments made by their predecessors.
Back in January 2007, Crist withdrew 283 unconfirmed appointments of former Gov. Jeb Bush.
Scott also rescinded a handful of the appointments that Crist made to the boards of the University of Central Florida, Brevard Community College, Broward College, Daytona State College, and Gulf Coast Community College.
Crist appointed Alston on April 12, 2010 and Rouson on September 29, 2010. Both will continue to serve until replacements are named.
