Jacksonville's City Council Hates The Homeless,Poor,Seniors,and Fire/Police

I hope you're reading through the floor amendments. Pure unnecessary spending. The only issues we need to spend money on are helping the homeless,fire, and police. The rest are pet projects, special interest groups-those items not universally used by the public.Council members hated the Mayor's budget because it was what we could afford.Florida has been the hardest hit state during the economic downturn.People will not be able to pay their property taxes if they are raised this year.That will add to the building vacancy problem not help our Jacksonville economy.Facts are facts.We don't take in enough money so we get our taxes raised.That won't work.Especially since our state opted out of Medicaid.That means our health care coverage for the poor and seniors are out of reach.That should be of major concern.It will dramatically increase the need for food,shelter,and emergency medical care that will not be paid back.We do not need to create more city jobs.The city workers we have now are not doing their jobs.Try to get in touch with a city department,like code enforcement,and see what happens.Try to contact your district council member on a topic he/she doesn't personally support and see what happens.I'm sick of hearing that sucking noise from our City Council, that means more money is being taken from me. Take a close look at your utility bill and see how many times the same tax is taken out for our do-nothing city.
