Mike Hogan: Small Business is key to Jax's future

[acme54321]

I was on Roosevelt bvld the other day and in an empty storefront, in a strip mall of course, I saw Mike Hogan for mayor signs all over the empty storefront. I guess that's appropriate because that's what he wants to give us. That's what he wants to keep, a sprawling township style town with an empty downtown! Let's keep this country bumpkin out or our city leadership at any and all cost!!!

You mean the old blockbuster at the corner of Timuquana?  I believe that is his campaign headquarters.

And after the election, it will be another empty retail space once again.

Seems there is more talk about the regular absence of Mike Hogan from candidate forums.  What's the scoop on his inability to participate more in these high profile events?

the scoops seems to be letting the other two fight it out and divide their voting public and sweep in and claim the majority when it actually counts.  Or he doesn't have the money.

You don't need money for forums.  They appear to be free publicity of the first magnitude so, if stretching your money counts, this is the place to be for sure.  The coverage can be extensive, especially when the candidates roll in the hay with each other or fire off quotable bullets like that write-in candidate did earlier this week.

As to your strategy, it may backfire.  If Hogan makes it through the primary, he will still have to face Moran or Mullaney and their supporters may unify to top Hogan in the run-off.  Hogan may then regret not trying to be a #2 choice to those voting for Moran or Mullaney by presenting at candidate forums.

Hogan had the time to make a Republican rally at the Landing last night and the AIF breakfast this morning....I would submit that he is avoiding the forums to let Audrey and Rick battle it out....or maybe he's just not a good debater.
