City Council President Sam Newby, who sought the opinion and had set a 2 p.m. Thursday deadline for its delivery, said in light of Williams' retirement announcement, he withdrew his request for the opinion.
If Teal had issued an opinion finding Williams vacated the seat, Williams could have filed a lawsuit but he said in his announcement he would instead retire. Six candidates have filed so far for sheriff. The top two fundraisers are T.K. Waters, a Republican who is chief of investigations for the Sheriff's Office, and Lakesha Burton, a Democrat and an assistant chief. Each has already raised more than $1 million for their campaign organizations and political committees.The crowded field makes it likely the election will need a runoff showdown in November, so someone will serve as acting sheriff until voters make their decision. Gov.
His path to the Sheriff's Office first went through service in the Air National Guard. His last public appearance this week as sheriff was at the city's Memorial Day ceremony where he helped place a wreath honoring those who died while in the military.
He quit a year ago!!!!!
'Williams’ tenure saw the most homicides per year of any sheriff going back three decades. Victims advocate groups, clergy, activists and media alike have all complained about Williams’ lack of responsiveness when they’ve tried to contact him.' TheJaxTrib
Thankful for his service, his integrity and compassion.
