"The stories examined the first six months in office for Alfred E. Adams, the head of the Volusia County Health Department, including the staff turnover, his relationships in the community and his dispute with the state over obtaining a Florida medical license. The investigation showed that he had ignored repeated requests from the state medical board for more information about his license application and that he had been chastised by his bosses for using the title of director without first obtaining the license. The investigation also showed that he had established a trend of missing meetings with civic and community leaders and that he had forced much of the department's senior administration to either resign or be fired."
