TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer will announce his resignation Tuesday amid criticism the party has been wasting money and not raising as much as it should.

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.

Crist defended Greer throughout the criticism and continued to praise him Tuesday.

"Under Chairman Greer's leadership we maintained a strong majority in Florida's congressional delegation and overwhelming majorities in the state House and Senate. Jim has long been a loyal servant to the Republican cause," Crist said in a statement. "Chairman Greer has and always will have my unwavering support."

Rebub Party! All their infighting has created two opposing groups and neither is happy with the other!
