hief Financial Officer Alex Sink says Attorney General Bill McCollum shouldn't have had the Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigate the Florida Republican Party.
Sink suggested Friday that state or federal prosecutors investigate instead of an agency that McCollum, a GOP leader, helps run as a Florida Cabinet member.
Gov. Charlie Crist agreed federal prosecutors should investigate due to potential income tax implications. A McCollum spokeswoman said FDLE at this time is the "appropriate authority" but McCollum doesn't object to others also investigating.
The investigation focuses on allegations a former party chairman steered money to his consulting firm.
Sink, a Democrat, and McCollum are running for governor.

Florida's ex-GOP chairman Greer facing criminal investigation
Gov. Charlie Crist's handpicked former GOP chairman is the subject of a criminal probe concerning a secret contract that funneled party money to a consulting company he owned, the party and the state's top law enforcement agency disclosed Wednesday.
But the investigation of Jim Greer is complicated by the disclosure that Republican Party officials offered him a severance package at the time of his January departure to absolve him from any financial wrongdoing and pay him $124,000 to remain as a consultant for a year.
The previously undisclosed severance documents, obtained first by the Herald/Times, were signed by top party officials, including current party Chairman John Thrasher and leading lawmakers who helped oust Greer amid intense concerns that he had been using the party coffers as a personal slush fund.

The mention of "IRS implications" may chill those who had RPOF American Express (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/topic/economy-business-finance/american-express-company-ORCRP000768.topic) cards and used them freely over the past several years.
The list includes Greer and Johnson, who ran up more than $1 million in AmEx charges for everything from chartered planes and four-figure dinner bills to flowers sent to the wives of Greer and Crist. Grass-roots and leadership anger over Greer's spending, even as party fundraising plummeted, forced his ouster in early January.
But party credit cards were also given to former House Speaker Marco Rubio (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/topic/politics/government/marco-rubio-PEPLT007456.topic), Crist's U.S. Senate (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/topic/politics/government/u.s.-senate-ORGOV0000134.topic) primary foe who's been challenged for using his card for thousands of dollars of personal expenditures; House Speaker-designate Dean Cannon of Winter Park, who the Orlando Sentinel reported spent $175,000 over two years on charter planes, expensive dinners and other items he says were all related to "party business;" and Senate President Jeff Atwater, the North Palm Beach Republican who's running for CFO.
Crist — who hand-picked Greer as party chairman in 2007 — has said he never had a party AmEx card. And he's recently tried to make a major issue of Rubio's spending.
On Thursday, Greer filed a lawsuit in Seminole Court Circuit Court alleging state GOP leaders cheated him out of $123,000 in severance money and broke a written pledge to keep secret the circumstances of his ouster as chair in January.
