2015 or hopefully ever.
If that idiot ever dares to think of running for mayor, let's bring all the "noise" to bare down on him that we can; and let's do it in an insensitive, mocking, sarcastic kind of way. Remember us asshole?! Don't even think we'll let you be mayor! You stupid piece of shit! our "noise" will bring you down!
Sorry, I just don't like the guy very much. His greed and corruption has effected me personally.
Why would he run for Mayor, when the new job has more power?
Didn't take long for Davis to share his agenda for Jax Chamber. This is how the GOB's work the system from the inside out.
The first item on the list is....

meh. defeatist nonsense.
the Chamber isnt as powerful as it used to be, especially downtown.
and the director still has to represent the membership, regardless of his personal agenda.
I sure hope so. But just in case, we should make it hard for him to work that position. Put pressure on him so great that it'll become a major headache for him to continue there. Is it even possible for ordinary noisy citzens to force him out?
