Mike Hogan's $62 Million Budget Cutting Plan

[hillary supporter]

look into what happened to the budget of the tax collectors office under Hogan's watch and get back to me

TUFSU - Why not get off your duff and get some facts together on what Brown has done locally. Right or wrong in your mind, Hogan has more local experience. Show me I am wrong, dig up the facts on Brown and how he has, again, either right or wrong, affected citizens of Jacksonville.

Stop making this a referendum on whether to vote for Hogan or vote against Hogan. Show us that Brown is more than a big ball of hot air.

Browns experience is running Clinton jobs program. While it was a federal program based out of D.C. It dealt with a budget of over $4 billion such that it dwarfs the cities budget. Hogans local experience is greater than Browns, in the same breath Browns national experience is greater than Hogan. This is not a bag of hot air. Its impressive credentials to everyone here, as the MJ poll reveals, and yes the poll of very little use realistically, but it does note that a majority here believe in Brown. Most of which have been brought over from the Moran campaign.
If you still believe that "Brown is a bag of hot air" you are not making any headway against the forum. The forum overwhelmingly believes in Brown.
The thread itself IS a referendum on Hogan.... for and against. That's the story itself... Mike Hogans budget proposal... for or against!

It is apparent that 'hot air' to some people happens to be facts that do not align with their rabid devotion for the Good Ol' Boy network!

Speaking of the good ol boy network, I got a flyer to vote for Dick Kravitz for tax collector. We can't give the job to Corrigan. If Corrigan wins, God forbid, I predict that he'll be mayor in 8 years, right after Hogan. This is the path that Hogan is currently taken, from councilman to tax collector and now possibly mayor! The city cannot withstand 24 consecutive years of shitty mayors!

Vote against Corrigan for tax collector!

Vote against Hogan for mayor!

Mark my words, If Corrigan becomes tax collector, he will succeed Hopgan as mayor in 8 years!

[mtraininjax]

Vote against Corrigan for tax collector!

Finally a voice of reason! Corrigan is dead wood, has been for 8 years as the head of district 14. Running on his name with no office but that of which he has been in for 8 years. Finally a political viewpoint I agree with.

HOLY SCHLITZ!  M-TRAIN agrees!  Film at 11

Yes, it is rare, but not impossible.

We certainly need real improvement.  We don't want to elect a mayor who will just muddle through the years and accomplish nothing.  Alvin Brown is the best choice for Jacksonville.  Brown is passionate about this city's future.

Thank heavens for term limits!  Got Corrigan out of office and two really good candidates to replace him.

Just got back from the Supervisor of Elections Office where we voted and am still basking in the warm, smug glow.

[Timkin]

And for god's sake please don't elect him into the Tax Collector's office .. :/

Thank heavens for term limits!  Got Corrigan out of office and two really good candidates to replace him.

No joke, right? I'd like to know one good thing he did for the West side while in office. Or ANY part of District 14, for that matter.

And for god's sake, please don't elect him into the Tax Collector's office

Oh gods, that would just be criminal.

[Timkin]

criminaler  ( )  things have happened

[urbaknight]

Like I said, if Corrigan wins, I predict he'll make a run for mayor in eight years! And the anti urban rednecks will just eat him up and love every bite of crap he shovels down our throats.

[buckethead]

If he thinks he is going to save money by cutting out lobbying, he doesn't know much about politics outside of the Jax GOB system. 

Losing one grant that a lobbyist could have secured, can easily pay for the lobbyist's cost for a decade.  Instead that grant will go somewhere else.

Penny wise, dollar foolish.   

I concur. He's advocating a cut of $300K. It sounds more like a personal vendetta bent on eliminating one specific position.

[Coolyfett]

Why the concern in this election about where a candidate was born? Tanzler, Austin and Delaney were all born in other states and it did not seem to matter.

Aren't those all of Jacksonvilles good mayors??
