Mayor Donna Deegan took a jab at Governor Ron DeSantis Thursday night after a city council committee voted to defund the position of Chief of Diversity and Inclusion within the mayor’s office earlier in the day.
The comment was made during a community town hall last night while the mayor was discussing council nixing the funding.
“I have no problem working across the aisle with the Governor, and I look forward to working with him and everybody really in the state of Florida,” Deegan said in an interview with Action News Jax back in June, just before she took office.Funding for Mayor Deegan’s new Chief of Diversity and Inclusion nixed by council committee
“Because it is very difficult to keep politics out of what essentially is a political job,” Jewett said. “For us, it was both a redundant cost to the city and not necessarily the proper role of government,” Howland said.
