Crist ally to resign Fla. party post

Jim Greer, Florida’s GOP chairman and a top ally of Republican Gov. Charlie Crist, will resign his post, the Miami Herald reports.

Greer will step down Feb. 20, more than three years after Gov. Charlie Crist hand-picked him to run the state GOP. In recent weeks, major party donors and other leaders have called for his resignation, citing questionable party spending, lackluster fundraising and division among party loyalists.
