The Village of South Jacksonville’s President-Elect has alerted the public of a 5-year old lawsuit concerning the city’s utilities.
President-Elect Tyson Manker says that the village has been involved in litigation since 2016 with Jacksonville Affordable Housing LP over water and sewer utilities. In the alleged lawsuit, Affordable Housing, better known as Labor Drive Housing, discovered in the Spring of 2015 that the village had been overcharging residents of Labor Drive over the past decade. The lawsuit alleges that between January 2006 to December 2014, residents of Labor Drive were overcharged over $326,000 and from January 1, 2015 to May of 2015 they were overcharged nearly $35,000.

South Jacksonville village president candidate Tyson Manker has asked that Village President Harry Jennings be removed as chairman of the board that will hear a challenge against Manker’s candidacy.
Village president candidate Richard “Dick” Samples filed an objection last week against Manker, arguing that Manker failed to properly file candidacy forms.
Manker on Monday filed a motion over an email he said show Jennings has “a personal bias.” Manker contends the email from Jennings was “trying to intimidate [him] into removing a post from his personal Facebook page promoting his candidacy for village president,” according to the motion.
