Jacksonville Mayor appoints City Ethics' Carla Miller as Ethics Officer
Yesterday in a dramatic speech to the City's Council, Mayor Peyton announced a series of sweeping ethics reforms, foremost of which was his appointment of Carla Miller as the City's Ethics Officer - in his words:
<p><i>"The establishment of a high-level, in-house ethics officer for the city of Jacksonville. I have asked Carla Miller to take on this important responsibility. She is a former federal prosecutor, former chair of the Jacksonville Ethics Commission and internationally recognized expert on government ethics who has served our city well over the past few years as a volunteer.
She has been an invaluable resource to municipalities throughout the nation and governments throughout the world in this regard."</i>
