A pending bill has raised alarms in Jacksonville, as city auditors warn it might drain tens of millions of dollars from city funds. Two bills are in question, HB1277 and its companion, SB 1510. Both seek to limit the amount of money a city-owned utility, like JEA, could contribute to the city.
Guest:
- Randy DeFoor, attorney and former City Council member.
- Laura Schepis, chief of external affairs at JEA.
