An interim commissioner was named Wednesday to lead the state Office of Financial Regulation, as Gov. Rick Scott and the Cabinet agreed to continue reviewing five applicants to replace outgoing Commissioner Drew Breakspear.

Pam Epting, deputy commissioner of the Office of Financial Regulation, will temporarily replace Breakspear, who resigned under pressure from state Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis. Scott and the Cabinet, which includes Patronis, agreed to boost Epting’s pay by $10,000 and to potentially consider additional applicants for the commissioner’s job.
