Gov. Scott suspended Mr. Di Pietro in late March. In his executive order, Gov. Scott said Mr. Di Pietro had engaged in malfeasance. On Monday, Broward County Judge Lisa Phillips held that the order did not meet the requirements of Florida law because it failed to state the specific acts that led to Mr. Di Pietro’s suspension. Judge Phillips ruled that Mr. Di Pietro be reinstated as chairman of Broward Health.
Gov. Scott appealed the decision Tuesday. However, Mr. Di Pietro told Sunshine State News the governor’s appeal is a “stall tactic,” and he’s confident the court’s decision will be upheld.
