JEA board chides vice chair who admitted he asked CEO to resign over ‘toxic’ workplace claims

A tense JEA Board meeting Tuesday ended with a 6-1 vote to confirm confidence in CEO Vickie Cavey as the leader of the city-owned utility. This came after a chaotic week of finger-pointing from politicians and Cavey over accusations of a toxic work environment at JEA. During the meeting, JEA Vice Chair Ricardo “Rick” Morales III admitted that he privately asked Cavey to resign after he said employees voiced concerns to him about a “toxic” workplace culture at the city-owned utility.
