While the Northeast Florida Builders Association and lobbyists were fighting to extend a fee moratorium that would impact builders other very bad news was being made public. It turns out that Jacksonville is 7th in the Nation when it comes to home foreclosures. That is 7th people! Home after home lost and standing empty while builders rally to save fees allowing them to build more. Something is wrong with this picture and the fact that Florida received a billion dollars to combat these foreclosures. What happened to the money folks? Senator Nelson says he is going to find out. Wish he would have paid more attention to where it went on the front end. The politicians representing Jacksonville and Florida need to look out for the "citizens" and their interests in a much better fashion as opposed to courting the needs and concerns of special interests.

7 of top 10 cities in FL...that's a sign I think.
