Airport Authority Considers Lawsuit Against City | Jacksonville News

Jacksonville’s aviation authority is on the verge of suing the city over a $10 million budget shift to a college aviation program at Cecil Airport, claiming it’s an illegal fund diversion — a dispute that’s simmered for nearly three years. The authority, backed by FAA guidance, fears the move could harm its bond rating and autonomy, while the city council president insists it’s vital for economic growth and job creation. With a 30-day deadline to resolve the standoff, both sides are locked in a tense battle over control — the authority wants to protect its independence, the city wants to keep its consolidated government intact. Legal threats loom, but the mayor hopes for a compromise before things escalate. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
