Eye requests an investigation of the Mayor’s Administration
Eye on Jacksonville has been watching political cronyism in our city government for the last year and while we didn’t like what we saw, we knew it was the game of politics. We shed light on issues and wrote opinion pieces about our dislike of this behavior. That’s all we could do and hoped it […]
So it begins: Upcoming local elections. Prepare for negativity instead of solutions.
I knew it was coming. It’s now officially the season of Negativity in Duval County. The upcoming local elections will begin with the primaries in March. Ugh. Here is the first ad for the Mayor’s race. It isn’t pretty. It isn’t motivating. It’s the same old garbage from campaign consultants brief cases. Curry’s campaign consultants […]
Hart Bridge ramps: Building in a cow pasture is not as risky as building on prime riverfront land.
The big breaking news is in: The Hart Bridge Ramps to downtown are coming down and our taxpayer dollars will pay for it. Pay for Mr. Shad Khan — a billionaire — to see his dream become a reality. Forty-five years ago, the citizens of Duval County paid to build the Hart Bridge and […]
JEA: We have our Eye on you and you’re looking good!!
If you have ever had your home appraised, you know how exciting it is to hear it’s worth more than you imagined. And the next question in your mind would be — “Is this a good time to sell?” It’s a game homeowners play with their equity. Should I sell or wait for the […]
Andrew Gillum: Media darling of Fake News & Candidate for Governor of Florida. Is he corrupt?
Corruption, scandals, and cronyism. It appears American politicians have lost their way and instead of representing the people they serve, they use their office for personal gains. Patrick Henry wisely stated, “The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them.” In other […]
Eye Welcomes new members to Jax City Council. We wish you well and lots of Winks!
Governor Scott has appointed Republican Terrance Freeman and Democrat Ju’Coby Pittman to replace suspended City Council members Katrina Brown and Reggie Brown. Katrina Brown and Reggie Brown were both suspended by Governor Scott on June 1 when they were indicted by a federal grand jury. Both appointments will serve until July 2019 finishing out the term […]
Mayor Curry is the worst person of the week AGAIN and doesn’t care about low income nobodies.
I read about the latest “squeeze play” by Mayor Curry to take back the Landing (per his internal plan). I wasn’t surprised by this new bully tactic. We expected it. But, I WAS disappointed in the Mayor — someone who once stood with me at The Landing and rallied against politicians who used tactics just […]
Iconic Jacksonville Landing’s heart is broken. Can we Make Her Great Again?
Eye has been following the sad situation with The Jacksonville Landing dispute between the Mayor and the Owners. If buildings had a heart, certainly the Landing’s would be broken. The Landing has been used in most every marketing picture by the city and others who want to attract new residents to North Florida. It even […]
STINK to Mayor Curry & his staff using his power to implement his plan to “put the screws” to the Landing
I woke up, grabbed a cup of coffee and turned on my computer to read the daily news. I was excited about today because we were going to be out and about speaking about Eye on Jacksonville and not only that – the economy is booming, people are back to work and there is a […]
