A Jacksonville City Council special investigation into Council Member LeAnna Cumber’s reported connection to the controversial privatization of JEA came to a close Wednesday with no immediate action.
The committee started after emails revealed a potential conflict of interest and was forwarded to the Ethics Commission.In April, the commission chose to drop the investigation. On Wednesday the special committee’s acting chairman, Council Member Nick Howland, said the investigation was closed with no answers as to whether Cumber misled the committee by failing to disclose her alleged tie. But he added the committee was still a success.
The investigation popped up in the middle of a heated election between Republican mayoral candidates Daniel Davis and Cumber.In April, Cumber told Action News Jax that the five people involved in the special committee were linked to Davis’ campaign.
