The Duval County Republican Party Executive Committee wants Gov. Ron DeSantis to have a grand jury investigate 'potential violations of state law.'
Nelson, a Republican elected in 2016 and, is in charge of prosecuting state cases in the Fourth Judicial Circuit that covers Duval, Clay and Nassau counties. It would be highly unusual for a statewide grand jury to do its own investigation of activities in the Fourth Circuit.
Robin Lumb, a Duval County Republican Party Executive Committee member who was among those advocating for the resolution, said he is"not accusing anybody of breaking the law. All I'm saying is this whole thing is shrouded in mystery and the voters have a right to know exactly what happened." "I hope he decides to act on it," Lumb said."It would be a real feather in his cap if he were to take some decisive action to root out the institutional corruption that's affected Duval County."
“We have heard the concerns of the community over the past several months. This office is — and has been — looking into matters involving JEA,” Nelson said in a written statement in December 2019.
