Inaugurations

Is Metro Jacksonville covering the inaugurations of the mayor and sheriff today?

... guess not. 

But it was a great day.  The program was excellent; the speeches were uplifting and on-point.  The theme of the event, One City * One Jacksonville!, was inspirational.  The speakers -- especially Bishop Guns -- connected. 

It was the best inaugural I've attended.  Mayor Curry and Sheriff Williams were gracious and welcoming.  I know it's the honeymoon period, but I'm content to give these gentlemen, their staffs, and the new Council all the support I can as they tackle the thorny issues before them.

My dad was there, I was working. It looks like it was a good event, but those things always are. Now that the ceremonial stuff is behind us, hopefully we'll get to some good work.

It was good - lots of positive energy and inclusion.  Having been to a few of these before, I have to second Jimmy's review of the event.

Were Curry and Williams separated at birth?

Awe, I am saddened that the local news media will not be able to run to Bill Bishop for a quote about absolutely nothing since he is NOT on the City Council now. Really a sad day for local news crews.

Sad that no one here decided to cover absolutely nothing about the inauguration, a far cry from 4 years ago when their "I'm With Alvin" disciple was set to lead Jacksonville into a promised land......thud.
