Mayor Brown's problem has been with the City Council. Remember,
the Council led by Gulliford, has done nothing to solve problems, only
create them. The 14% property tax increase has hurt all homeowners.The
pension plan debacle remains unsolved.The talk of a 6% tax increase on
fuel or sales is still an unresolved issue sitting on the Council's
doorstep. What ever happened to the river dredging that already has
caused bulkhead failures along the river? That was to bring huge numbers
of jobs to Jacksonville. Yet we continue to lose jobs, and
businesses.Our schools are a nightmare, and I don't have to tell you how
terrible the score is for Rutherford with Duval County now the murder
capitol of Florida! Then we've got the Council meddlers like Don Redmon
that believe rock music is the Devil's music, and chickens belong in
residential neighborhoods. The Council is backed by draconian Christian
values and the rest of us don't matter.
I'm voting for Brown again. The rest of the leadership reminds me of
the movie "Mean Girls". Corey being one of the nastiest with her huge
torture device hanging around her neck, and her Christian values
reminding me more of Vlad the Impaler, or the Crusades than the belief
system of the Pope.
Republicans aren't remotely interested in the majority. Theirs is the party that believes money rules and god likes that.
