TU: Skyway could be torn down if ridership doesn’t improve — in next 25 years

Sounds like a plan to me, but in the mean time, we still have to subsidize it every year for the few who do ride on it.

Some hope a downtown resurgence will improve ridership numbers.

TU: Jacksonville Journal: Free tutoring for some Duval students

I don't like the idea that you have to be on the free lor reduced cost unch program to qualify.   Many people who can't afford to pay a tutor don't necessarily accept handouts.  They make do and do the best they can, and to eliminate those who are proud enough to provide for themselves, but may not be able to pay a tutor, sends the wrong message as far as I am concerned (it encourages and rewards the welfare state).…

TU: School officials want Mayor Alvin Brown to check in before visits

Although I agree with those who commented on the article that have said they are happy that Mayor Brown is enthusiastic about the schools and wants to be part of a solution to make them better, I also understand he should not overstep either by just showing up unannounced or with such short notice the visit disrupts the school day for the students. The schools are the authority of the…

Standard Newswire: Black Tea Party Leader Demands Apology from Maxine Waters

Terrific piece and God bless this very brave tea party leader and paster for his stance on this matter.  Maxine Waters does indeed owe the American people an apology for a lot more than just her comments about the tea party.

 

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 23, 2011 /Standard Newswire/ -- South Central L.A. Tea Party Founder and President, Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson is demanding an apology from…

TU: Nonprofit writes Florida law for its own program

I don't think any special interest group should be writing legislation for anything. The state has a legal department that should be taking any and all proposed laws at the state level and making sure they are written to comply with all state law and written in an air tight manner. To say the legislators do not have the ability or the people to put together "legal" legislation makes it sound like the state is run by yahoos and that just isn't true. I don't like the idea at all that… Continue

TU: Public meetings scheduled on Jacksonville City Council redistricting

People need to get involved in this process.  It is very important to make sure our city is redistricted to allow for proper representation.  I already live in a state district that basically gives me no voice in the state senate, and I have no desire to have the city redistricted to eliminate my voice at the city level.  Folks if you have any ideas about this or want to voice an opinion, it is time to get involved.…

TU: Fewer hours at some Jacksonville libraries as director flies off to Europe

For those who have been staying on top of things to do with multiculturism, we know it does not work and will be the downfall of Europe.  Why would we follow Europe off the cliff.  Right now there are countries that are no longer embracing the concept, because it allows other cultures not to accept the culture of the country they move to.  DA, why would we keep moving our train into the train wreck????  This trip is an outrage at a a time when our city is in deep financial…

ACTION ALERT: City Fees Assessment 83% increase proposed. This is a tax increase!

We need to stay on top of this.  This IS a tax increase and a large one at that on everyone including those out of work and struggling to make ends meet.  This is an absolute travesty and is being done in such an underhanded, sneaky way, the city council and the new mayor should be VERY ashamed!…

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists.
