What happened

A special committee investigating the Jacksonville Transportation Authority began its work after the Florida Attorney General’s Office issued a subpoena seeking records from JTA. The committee will review the agency's financial and operational stability and governance. Notes obtained by investigator Ben Becker from the office of Mayor Donna Deegan document a 2025 meeting where former JTA board member Megan Hayward warned city leaders about financial concerns before JTA reported a $39 million budget shortfall.
