And prosecutors even flagged Becker’s April 2025 request into delayed vendor payments. JHA quoted Action News Jax nearly $90,000 to fulfill it.
The subpoena orders JHA to turn over records involving former CEO Cheron Corbett Waller, who was fired by the board two weeks ago.

This includes records about her proposed 12% developer fee compensation plan, how much Waller could have received if it had been approved, and communications with board members.
JHA has been ordered to turn over the records by November 20.
