Well, kinda like a Republican, at least that’s what we thought. Yesterday he decided to start taking Civil War statues down all over the city of Jacksonville. Apparently on his own initiative. In addition, the financial/fraud/various problems with the Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA) may be about to fall on his head. He ain’t the golden boy we all thought he was in his first Mayoral term.
I look forward to having the RNC convention in Jax, but it brings a lot of potential negatives with it. Jax has pretty limited hotel room availability and there’s really nothing to do here for entertainment, other than go to the beach, which is about 20 miles east of downtown. Just my $.02.
