JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville City Council and Mayor Donna Deegan’s office are in conflict over the distribution of free tickets to Jacksonville Jaguars games and other major events.
City Councilman Ron Salem has filed a bill proposing that the distribution of these perks, which currently falls under the mayor’s office, be split evenly between the mayor’s office and the city council.

Currently, the mayor’s office is responsible for distributing not only tickets to Jaguars games but also concert tickets and parking passes.
The proposed ordinance aims to change this by ensuring an equal distribution of these perks between the mayor’s office and the city council.
