Florida ethics commission chairman Glenton “Glen” Gilzean Jr. resigned Tuesday, opting instead to hold onto his $400,000-a-year job as administrator of the Central Florida special district that Florida removed from the control of the Walt Disney Company.

“It recently came to my attention that my position as District Administrator of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District may not be compatible with my position as a member and Chairman of the Florida Commission on Ethics. After reviewing this matter with legal counsel, I have decided that prudence dictates that I discontinue serving in one of the two positions. Therefore, I respectfully tender my resignation from the Florida Commission on Ethics, effective immediately,” Gilzean wrote in a letter to Gov. Ron DeSantis.
