Chuck Quackenbush, former California insurance commissioner who resigned under fire in 2000, is back in trouble again. As the Reader revealed in August of 2006, Quackenbush is now a deputy sheriff in Lee County, Florida; his salary has plunged from $132,000 as commissioner to $33,000 as cop. According to the Insurance Journal, Quackenbush has been placed on administrative leave because he shot a person he was trying to arrest. The incident will be investigated. This is normal procedure, Quackenbush told the Associated Press. He was investigated in California as a result of the Northridge earthquake. Insurance companies that should have paid fines in the billions of dollars were instead collectively chipping in sums in the low millions to a foundation that was supposed to advertise the importance of insurance. Actually, a whistleblower reported that the foundation was spending the money getting Quackenbush elected governor. He resigned facing almost certain impeachment.
