Lenny Curry, JEA, and the Jacksonville Public Trust Crisis: Deep Dive with Investigators

Mike Miller, Mike Tolbert, Mike Hightower

Today we talk about something important happening in Jacksonville. A former mayor, Lenny Curry, just became a lobbyist for JEA—the city’s power and water company. This is surprising because, not long ago, he tried to sell JEA, which caused a lot of people to get upset and worry about the future of the city’s utilities.

We sit down with people who were part of the investigation into that attempted sale. We also talk with someone who reported the story and followed it closely. 

Together, we ask questions like:
• What does this new job mean for JEA and the people who work there?
• Are the same people still making big decisions behind the scenes?
• Can the people of Jacksonville trust what’s happening?

We take a close look at how decisions made by leaders can leave a mark on a city, even years later. And we ask if lessons were really learned—or if history is about to repeat itself.

This is an honest talk about leadership, trust, and why it’s so important to pay attention to what’s happening in local government.
