TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Former Florida Comptroller Bob Milligan is retiring as interim executive director of the state Department of Veterans Affairs.
Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida Cabinet on Thursday appointed Earl Daniell, the department's chief of staff, to succeed Milligan as interim director.
Both are retired Marines. Milligan was a lieutenant general and Daniell a colonel.
Milligan took the Veterans Affairs job on an interim basis last year following the death of retired Navy Adm. Leroy Collins Jr., whose father was Florida's governor from 1955 through 1961.
Collins was killed when an SUV struck him while he was riding a bicycle in Tampa.
Milligan served on the Cabinet as the state's elected comptroller in the 1990s.
The chief financial officer now handles the comptroller's duties since that position was abolished.
