"TALLAHASSEE (AP) Days after Gov. Jeb Bush fired a top official over sexual harassment allegations, his office confirmed it hired a former newspaper editorial writer who resigned following allegations of plagiarism and sexual harassment.
Lloyd Brown, 65, has been hired as a writer on Bush's staff. He resigned as editorial page editor of The Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville Nov. 2 after the newspaper said its review found instances of plagiarism in some of the editorials Brown had written.
The review was sparked after a former Times-Union editorial writer, Billee Bussard, wrote a lengthy article in Folio Weekly, a Jacksonville weekly newspaper.
In the article, titled "Porn, Hypocrisy, Plagiarism: The Dark Side of Jacksonville's Daily," Bussard wrote that Brown viewed Internet pornography in the paper's office, and she said he conducted sexual conversations on the telephone while viewing the pornography in the workplace."
