Chat: Mayoral Debate - Growth and the Environment

[wsansewjs]

I am hosting a chat room on my server using Meebo chat room to discuss the WJCT's 2011 Mayoral Debate on Growth and the Environment.

Here is the URL: http://www.wjsimpson.com/2011_Mayoral_Debate/index.html

Feel free to join me and talk with me and other fellow MetroJax members about what the candidates are debating in real-time.

It will air on WJCT (Channel 7) at 8pm.

I really just don't understand Mullaney's strategy....there are only so many strong conservatives out there...is he trying to unseat Hogan as their favorite?

[Jimmy]

That's exactly what he's trying to do.  And with 40-something percent of the Tea Party straw poll, I think Mullaney is making some headway.

Tell Alvin there's already a Winn-Dixie downtown.  Btw, Mullaney is driving the "Get the house in financial order" thing down everyone's throats.

I think Audey is doing really well. She is so well spoken!

well if Hogan and Mullaney make the runoff, one of them will need to move to the center

yeah, that was really sad

I agree.  And she already has my vote, but I do not have a lot of faith in my fellow Jacksonvillians. 

Mullaney was quick to point out that a Downtown Development Authority will need increased taxes.  God knows there are a lot of people in this city that think downtown is a total waste and are dead set against a tax increase of any type.

He is going after the tea partiers big time.  How many times has he said "I am opposed to new taxes"?

I am definitely for Audrey. Unfortunately Hogan, who has missed many of the public forums has the support of many Republican/First Baptist members and is in the lead according to a local poll. Those of us on this forum who support Audrey need to get out in the next 2 weeks and spread the word.

Wow! Audrey just beat the rest of the competition to death on the issue of mass transit.

$70 - $90 million to repay the feds for shutting down the skyway!  Where is Stjr?

hmm...wonder where she got that information from?

[fsujax]

She is good! maybe she got it directly from JTA! she also is the only one who brought up the term TOD! Go Audrey!!

[Jimmy]

I'd say the night was a solid win for Audrey. 

And for Abel Harding.  His questions were the best of the bunch.
