Daniel Davis campaign consultant gives batch of emails to committee investigating LeAnna Cumber. Her attorney calls it political charade.
"There was no explanation provided as why these communications, the vast majority of which are from 2019, were being conveniently disclosed weeks before an election by the Daniel Davis campaign's communications director working against my client," attorney Daniel Bean wrote.
"It's clear that Husein Cumber was heavily involved in this process," Howland said."That seems indisputable." "Our city has continued hope that through this investigation we can identify the root causes of corruption and cover-up in Jacksonville, and work together to find solutions that will benefit all residents of our city," attorney Charles Jimerson wrote to the investigative committee.and Cumber are among seven candidates vying to be mayor in the March 21 general election.
Cumber appeared to be"attempting to insert herself and City Council into the JEA ITN process for the purpose of choosing the winning bid," a chronology submitted by the law firm says. In contrast to firms that sought to buy JEA outright, the JEA Public Power Partners consortium offered to pay a large concession fee for the right to make money by managing the utility while it remained city-owned.
While"Project Panther" and other prospective bidders were working on their proposals, the JEA board asked City Council to agree that if the city decided to privatize JEA, the city of Jacksonville would become responsible for enhanced pension benefits for JEA employees, and the city also would make good on the unfunded pension obligations on the books for JEA workers and retirees.
Bean wrote that the assertions by Isaac about the pension vote are"incorrect and easily refutable" based on comments Cumber made at the time council considered the legislation. The Jimerson Birr summary says Husein Cumber was acting on behalf of Project Panther to"tarnish DeFoor's reputation" because she was aggressively asking questions about the JEA process and bidders. The emails and texts do not show any people besides Husein Cumber and Isaac were communicating about the Florida Politics article.
DeFoor served on the Special Investigatory Committee when it asked all City Council members to voluntarily disclose any interactions between them or their immediate family with consultants, lobbyists and firms involved in the JEA sales process.
