Curry responds to city subpoena in JEA investigation
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ Mayor Lenny Curry on Monday responded to the latest information released on the investigation into the scuttled attempt to sell JEA. NextEra, which is the parent company of Florida Power & Light, handed over the information after getting a subpoena from a special Jacksonville City Council committee investigating the negotiations. Also on the list of those who worked on the negotiations was Bold City Strategic Partners, run by Tim Baker. The special City Council committee investigating JEA is due to meet Tuesday, May 26. A federal grand jury has also issued a subpoena for records related to the attempted sale of the city-owned utility.

SPECIAL SECTION: Tracking the JEA sagaIn its response, the company identified 13 companies including Mousa Consulting Group, a firm led by Sam Mousa, the cityโs former chief administrative officer. Baker, who has consulted for Curry, ran the firm with Brian Hughes, Mousaโs replacement as chief administrative officer, up until 2017. He also said the firm did not have any contracts with FP&L while Hughes was still on board. Fallout from the doomed sale included the dismissals of then-CEO Aaron Zahn, CFO Ryan Wannemacher and several other high-level JEA executives. โI have long believed and publicly stated there was a strategic and concerted effort by Lenny Curry to sell JEA,โ Dennis said.
