A redacted paycheck from an anonymous City of Jacksonville employee obtained exclusively by Action News Jax bears the printed signatures of former Mayor Lenny Curry, former City CFO Patrick Greive, and former City Treasurer Paul Barrett.
The check, which is dated October of this year, was issued months after Mayor Donna Deegan entered office.Binder argued it’s understandable an administrative formality like this one may have slipped through the cracks.
According to the Mayor’s Office, a total of 150 employees still opt for paper checks and the administration was aware of the old officials’ names still being printed on the checks. “In the interest of cost savings and efficiency, the checks are being updated currently with Mayor Deegan and the new Treasurer that was recently confirmed by City Council. When the new CFO is confirmed in the coming months another signature line will be added,” said Deegan’s Chief Communications Officer Philip Perry.“It’s up to the bank to actually clear that check,” said Adam Wolf, a financial expert with Wolf Retirement Navigation.
