Even before Lt. Gov-elect Jennifer Carroll formally takes up her new post, questions are being raised concerning altered documents that helped enable Carroll’s consulting company meet a three-year residency requirement and thus secure a place among eligible companies for city contracts.
jacksonville.com: Carroll’s firm, JC & 3N, was accepted for a program that sets city contracts aside for eligible small businesses from January 2007 until May. That program required that Carroll, a Clay County resident, have a company based in Duval County for three years.
The Times-Union reported last month that altered documents were in the files of Carroll’s company when the city reviewed its eligibility, and since then more evidence has emerged that fudged paperwork helped the company secure a spot in the program.
