JAA Pauses Lawsuit Over Budget Dispute | Jacksonville News

The Jacksonville Aviation Authority is on the brink of legal battle after accusing the city of trying to siphon $400 million from airport funds for unrelated projects — including Cecil Airport and workforce training — but paused its lawsuit plan after city officials warned it could cripple the consolidated government structure. Facing pressure and a 30-day window to negotiate, the JAA’s board, led by Chair David Hodges, says it wants a win-win solution — though it still fears federal regulators may back their stance on FAA compliance. City leaders insist their budget moves are lawful, and the standoff remains tense as both sides brace for possible litigation if talks fail.
