A spokesperson for the Florida Bar provided the following statement:
“A complaint has been filed against Nassau County Attorney Michael Mullin...for his work on the Rayonier land development project known as the East Nassau Stewardship District...to determine if any Rules regulating the Florida Bar may have been violated.”
Florida Bar rules require attorneys disclose if they have certain connections to an opposing party.
The project, also known as Wildlight, is one of the largest planned developments in the country.
No records in the case are publicly available at this time.
First Coast News was not immediately able to reach Mullin, but stay with FCN for more on this developing story.
