A Florida attorney general subpoena delivered this week to Mayor Donna Deegan adds another layer to former Jacksonville Transportation Authority board member Megan Hayward's emergence as a key figure in ongoing investigations and reviews of JTA at the state and local level with some mayoral politics added to the mix. The subpoena seeks any notes and other documents in the mayor's office about a meeting in March 2025 between Deegan and Hayward when Hayward raised concerns about JTA. Hayward also will feature in some way in an upcoming review by a City Council committee of JTA's finances that will examine whether "whistleblower concerns were adequately addressed," according to the memo by City Council President Nick Howland for the committee's scope of work. The memo does not identify a whistleblower by name, but Howland said it refers to Hayward. And in the race for mayor, state Rep.
