COMMENTARY | A former JEA board member who has mostly avoided the public eye since her departure in early 2020 after the botched attempt to privatize the city-owned utility appeared at the federal courthouse in downtown Jacksonville on Thursday as a grand jury continues to investigate the scandalous saga.
Camille Lee-Johnson, an executive at the food and beverage franchise management firm Lee Wesley, is one of the few major players to have stayed remarkably silent since the collapse of the privatization campaign headed by former CEO Aaron Zahn. Attorneys who worked for a special City Council investigative committee said Lee-Johnson never responded to their requests to interview her under oath, and city attorneys, who conducted a separate employment investigation into Zahn s tenure at the end of 2019, also never spoke with her.
