Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis says he has lost confidence in the state’s top financial regulator and has an interim replacement in mind.

Patronis on Thursday advised Drew Breakspear, commissioner of the Office of Financial Regulation, that he has concerns about a “lack of cooperation, responsiveness, and communication from your office in its dealings with your customers and Florida’s financial services community” and that he is prepared to address the issues at a May 15 state Cabinet meeting.
