Behind the JEA Sale: Mike Hightower, Mike Tolbert, and Mike Miller's Insights
Welcome back to Mikes on Mic!
Today we are again talking about the attempted sale of JEA, Jacksonville's public utility service and the four-year prison sentence handed down on former JEA CEO Aaron Zahn. We'll be talking about Steve Busey's year-long investigation that reviewed over 600,000 documents, ultimately pointing to former Mayor Lenny Curry's significant involvement in the plan to sell JEA.
We’ll also discuss the inspiring stories of Our Jax members and other community heroes who united to prevent the sale of JEA, including then-council president Scott Wilson, Ethics Officer Carla Miller, and prominent media figures who unveiled the story and kept the community informed.
