Mike Hogan proved he could cut taxes and get Jacksonville back on track last night.  His ethics soared above the other candidates when one stooped so low as to "sling mud" and try to distort the facts!  Mike stood high above the others and said, "I stand before you as an open book. I'm not ashamed of anything I've done." 

Let's look at the facts:
1. Mike has streamlined the Tax Collectors budget and reduced spending over 20% in the 8 years he has served.

2. Mike, working with Gov. Jeb Bush, cut Florida taxes over $700 million while in the state legislature
3. Mike, while at SouthernBell, worked to reform the pension system while handling labor relations

4. Mike in 2007, as a member of the Taxation & Budget Reform Commission, worked to pass legislation ensuring that government does not grow faster than your personal income (the current administraion that Mullaney is a part of fought and ultimately defeated this measure)
5. Mike supports TABOR, commonly referred to the Taxpayers Bill of Rights
6. Mike has been endorsed by the Concerned Taxpayers of Duval County because of his record as a fiscal conservative

Where are the track records of ANY other candidate?  There are none...all they hold are empty promises and visions that, like the current administration, will ultimately cost each of us!

Mike Hogan is the only candidate that should receive the endorsement of our First Coast Tea Party!
