Mayor Donna Deegan is rallying support for her nomination to be the city’s next general counsel: former City Councilwoman Randy DeFoor.
It’s the first test of how Jacksonville’s new Democratic mayor and Republican City Council are going to get along, as Deegan’s choice of a former City Council member has caused some current City Council members to pause before approving the nomination.
Deegan is holding an 11 a.m. news conference Wednesday at City Hall where other former city general counsels will speak out in favor of DeFoor’s appointment.Some are saying pure politics could get in the way of Deegan’s choice — even though DeFoor is a Republican, and it’s the Republican-controlled Council that must approve her.
Melissa Ross — speaking on behalf of the mayor — said they have also posed the question to the state.
