The Jacksonville City Council has revived the special investigation committee that looked into the failed sale of JEA, targeting 2023 Jacksonville mayoral candidate and Councilwoman Leanna Cumber.
City Council President Terrance Freeman wants to know if Council was misled by Cumber.
This comes as Cumber is in the middle of a heated mayoral race and has pointed the finger at her main rival, JaxChamber CEO Daniel Davis, raising the question if this is politically motivated.The stated goal of the committee is to figure out if Cumber violated any rules by not including her husband’s role in a conflict of interest document she signed when Council investigated the failed 2019 sale of JEA.
Figure out if Cumber attempted to use her official position to influence the ITN process for personal gain. Propose legislation to ensure that such deceptions, if any, do not impede the work of any future committee.“I would only support an investigation on any candidate called for by a serious official like the State Attorney or the General Counsel and not by two politicians playing politics.”“This manufactured controversy exposes the lengths to which Mayor Curry and his chosen successor will go to win.
