The Pensacola News Journal reports that a federal grand jury in Pensacola is investigating the building and funding of a privately owned correctional facility that opened last year in East Milton, including the role of former state Rep. Ray Sansom as well as the relationship between the Santa Rosa County economic development board and developers.
The investigations involve a who's who of North Florida players from Sansom to former Sen. Charles Clary to Santa Rosa County Commissioner Jim Melvin, whose computer was seized.
Melvin told the PNJ that the FBI said the investigation was not focused on him but did not disclose what they were interested in.
Today, the grand jury issued another round of subpoenas, copies of which have been sent to the Herald/Times. The subpoenas seek records from land deals to travel between the county commission and the county's economic development arm, Team Santa Rosa. Download Subpoena16834 Download Subpoena16840[1]
