A story in The Tallahassee Democrat on Thursday said McCarty was host for the fundraiser on Wednesday night at the privately run Governors Club in Tallahassee.

That story explained an electronic version of an event invitation sent to an invitee indicated it was created on a state Department of Financial Services computer in a potential violation of state laws that prohibit use of state resources for political campaigns.

George Grawe, Allstate Floridian Insurance general counsel, and other insurance lobbyists were among invitees, the story added. The story did not identify those insurance industry officials.

OIR spokesman Jonathan Kees said McCarty was asked and agreed to help his fellow University of Florida alum and friend, Robin Lotane, run for judicial office. Although the invitation said "host," it was held at the Governor's Club, where McCarty is not a member and "was merely expected to attend," he said.

"She is interested in learning more about the situation," Sink spokeswoman Tara Klimek said when the South Florida Business Journal asked if the CFO will recommend the resignation of other OIR officials, perhaps including McCarty.
