Two months from now, Alvin Brown will be sworn in as mayor of Jacksonville, Florida.

 

This is great news! I'm interested to see whether or not his attempts to govern will be hampered by the losing faction, assuming they have a presence in city council.

 

How is this GOOD news ?? Have you read his stance on state issues ? They are all vague with no objective plan. He reminds me of O'bama. ALL RHETORIC, NO INTELLIGENCE and probably FULL of LIES.

Why do people continue to fall into this trap of electing officials that give good speeches with no clear plan on how to address problems and concerns.

Personally I think Jacksonville is SCREWED. Time will tell if I'm wrong or not.

 

LoL.

Im sure was with the tea baggers screaming and hollering. now those guys are at the capitol and havent kept one promise. now all the tea baggers are crying. wisconsin elected a tea bagger and now they want to repeal the dude. really ? you guys got it right ?
