From my perspective, we need to say a big thank you to both Councilmen Crescimbeni and Gulliford.  The state has now changed the laws regards these appointments, and our city council can make this change legally and should.  I think the group currently in charge have not done a good job, and it is time to replace them and get some fresh people and ideas and management of this fund.  What is you take?

For those of you following the "doggy park" debacle, one might well understand why this may not be as smooth a discussion as it might otherwise be.  It is going to be hard to get our policemen and firemen to take pay cuts and changes in there pensions if the city continues spending money on discretionary expenditures (but somehow, you just can't make them see it as being a wrong thing to do when we have NO money for non essential items).…

Because of the dissention, this may be something folks need to take a look at and weigh in with the Governor, the mayor or both. Certainly, this is a goodly amount of money, and like many other things right now, we can't afford it!

Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown is urging Gov. Rick Scott to veto a bill that he says would cost the city millions in higher Medicaid payments.…

What on earth do these folks think they are doing or where are they going with this?  This is not a UN issue in any way shape or form and hardly think the bunch of dictators and tyrants on the human rights council should be telling us how to run our elections since most of them do what Obama would like to do and that is open it up to all including illegal aliens so he can get re-elected by allowing people to vote several times for him.  I am pretty sick of these folks as you all…

This is not something anyone who knows anything about our flag or what it stands for would do...........but apparently, the democratic party of Lake City, Florida, doesn't know anything about the flag or what the word desecration means.  Not in my life time do I remember a president whose followers have done something like this.

As many of us know from videos about this that have surfaced this past week, election most likely has happened in a number of elections already.  It must be stamped out if we are to vote out those we no longer wish to have represent us and vote in those we wish to represent us.  And to turn back some of the laws and dismantle the structure put in place in Washington, our state and locally.  At all 3 levels, politicians have gone way beyond anything they were ever elected to do or…

Tells townhall crowd, 'The question is, is it legitimate?'

Another U.S. lawmaker has questioned the authenticity of President Obama’s purported birth certificate, asking, “Is it legitimate?”

At a Feb. 25 townhall meeting with Rep. Clifford Stearns, R-Fla., in Belleview, Fla., an elderly constituent expressed concern about Obama’s natural-born citizenship status because his father was Kenyan.

When the man…

This is quite interesting in several ways, but the most glaring is that this president and his cronies in the congress have us on a downward trajectory, and want us to stay there. Should we reach out and do what we should have done years and years ago, and make ourselves energy independent, we would see an economic resurgence beyond any proportion anyone could imagine.............................and that is not what Obama wants. Obama wants welfare, food stamps and entitlement…

My feeling on this is that democrats would really like to draw districts that all favor them rather than have districts that are fairly drawn.  I think, at this time, we are all sick of this mess which was in part brought about because of the fair districts law that many thought would get rid of gerry mandered districts...........

Senate leaders are wrong to argue that they can make limited changes to a redistricting plan that was found…

When I read this headline, my first thought was "so it is going to cost us more to get a new superintendent than we expect?" and sure enough, once you read the article you realize, you need to get a good grip on your wallet (as someone will soon be reaching in to take more of your dollars).

You will have to weigh in on this.  I favor some sort of temporary solution until a permanent one can be found to keep the ferry in operation, but I know others feel differently about who should do it!

A Jacksonville City Council panel trying to keep the St. Johns River Ferry in business is looking closer for grants that might help bridge its budget gap.

And members said Monday the Jacksonville…

Something for us to watch for.  This seems like it might be a really good idea, and could become an annual event to draw folks into our downtown.  Now if the parking situation was only different as they might get people to go downtown more often if it didn't break the bank to park your car down there!

Plans for an art and technology festival will be shared today.

They may do a promotion on Obamacare, but they have done them before and failed to get people on board for this horrid piece of legislation. Most certainly, we should know they plan this, and most certainly this health care bill, if you could call it that, needs to be exposed for what it is and that is not health care. It is going to destroy health care as we know it and deprive you of care depending on age etc. which is discriminatory (one of Obama's signature ideas that will…

This is pretty self explanatory.  This amendment is crony capitalism using our tax dollars to subsidize and choose winners and losers in yet another area.

This should be of grave concern to all of us, because they also plan to implement Sharia law in our country too which is why the group here in Florida was so apposed to the new Law making the use of foreign laws illegal in the state of Florida.  I hope everyone supported our representatives who were trying so hard to get it passed.  This is absolutely scary since sharia is being used by some of the federal judge appointments made by Obama and some of the Clinton appointments are…

This one is going to make most of us really mad, because what is says is we are wasting money by the truck load and not educating our children but we are propagandizing them (which we already knew).  Sad, and we have all been responsible for allowing this to happen!

The way he thinks actually totally aligns with his actions.  He is the center of everything and his beliefs are they only honorable and correct ones..............no God, no heaven, no hell, and nothing that passes for the values and beliefs most of us hold.  He is truly an enigma totally alien to the American people as a whole.

Not only does…

This is an older article but it does highlight the absolute reason we can not allow Obama to get re-elected.  Should he get re-elected, chances are very good he would appoint another supreme court justice, and any rights we have would be done away with the challenges to anything the future congress' and presidents implement.  And the supreme court justices would impact our lives for years and years to come and could so dramatically change our country, the only recourse would be…

I am posting this for information about someone who has decided to run in the Sixth Congressional District in our state and the article contains some interesting statements that made me go HMMMM as well as information about this candidate which may be of interest.  The article also contains a statement we all need to consider, that was made by DeSantis, which "caught" my attention is a big way and should catch your attention as well since it is an indication of how far afield we…
