A Special Investigatory Committee on JEA matters is proposing new legislation designed to force city council members to comply with investigations.
Cumber’s husband, Husein Cumber, was on the JEA Board when it voted to explore privatization, but he resigned after she was elected in 2019.
Determine whether Cumber attempted to use her official position to influence the invitation to negotiate process for personal gain “Is there’s an element of the ordinance code that talks about duty to comply with investigations. And city council was not mentioned explicitly as a body within the city government that has a duty to comply. We’re going to change that ordinance code eventually to make sure the city council is specifically called out in that law,” Howland said.
At one point, an ethics commission decided not to investigate the claims, stating it was outside the statute of limitations and political in nature.
