What’s missing from new Jacksonville ethics office? Money
No budget or staff yet, despite being adopted by City Council last summer.

Seven months after it was signed into law, Jacksonville’s Office of Ethics, Compliance and Oversight still has no budget.
Its one employee, a director appointed last month, works part-time but hasn’t drawn a city paycheck since leaving an earlier job in October.
She’s hoping volunteers will help get the new office in gear — and that the city releases enough money for her to get paid again.
