• Lawyer Paul Harden is no longer the lobbyist for SMG and its facilities management contract. The City’s list of lobbyists reflected the change June 22. Rogers Towers attorney T.R. Hainline is now SMG’s lobbyist. Harden said the City’s RFP for the facilities management contract — long held by SMG and now competing with Global Spectrum —doesn’t allow representation of both the facilities management company and a tenant in one of the facilities. In this case, that would be the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Field. Harden continues to represent the Jaguars. “You had to choose,” Harden said. “I couldn’t represent both of them.”
