Duval DOGE says it’s addressing $23 million deficit in city’s Health Insurance Fund

The Jacksonville City Council’s Special Committee on Duval DOGE held a meeting on Tuesday to address the $23 million deficit in the city’s Health Insurance Fund. The city hired The Bailey Group, a Florida-based insurance brokerage and consulting firm that is being paid roughly $90,000 to help reduce the deficit. “I view this as a three-year plan, this is not something we are going to solve within a year,” Councilman Ron Salem said. He said the city’s Health Insurance Fund has accumulated a deficit of more than $20 million over more than five years.
