Randy DeFoor is Mayor Deegan’s pick to become Jacksonville’s next general counsel. But it’s DeFoor’s former role as a city council member that might be the problem.
There is a state rule that says once you leave the City Council you must wait two years before you can lobby the City Council.Before Randy DeFoor can become the city’s General Counsel, she will need City Council approval. Some are saying it’s pure politics that could get in the way of Deegan’s appointment — even though DeFoor is a Republican.
The role of the general counsel involves a lot in representing many agencies in Jacksonville. But right now Mayor Deegan’s choice of Randy DeFoor for that job is being questioned.“Well, you know, the best part of being gentle counselors, I am not a policymaker anymore,” Defoor said. “So that is not my role. That’s not my role anymore. That’s his role. That’s not mine. Mine is being an attorney and representing each one of my clients to the best of my ability.
Melissa Ross — speaking on behalf of the mayor — said they will also ask the state the same question. News4JAX asked Political Analyst Rick Mullaney of JU’s Public Policy Institute — who also served as the city’s general council — to break it down for us. He believes DeFoor can legally do the job.
