Abel Harding is a sharp guy. He's the best thing the T-U has had in a long time.

I was watching the news last night at 6 and they were interviewing Abel Harding and asked him about the EverBank deal. I loved how he brought up the $500,000 the City gave BCBS to make intersection improvements for their sprawling Southside campus, he was very accurate when he said no one made a peep about that. Great job Abel for telling like it is!

Any idea of how many jobs that $500k gift to BCBS will create?  Do we get any type of return on investment for that expenditure?  Other than making BCBS a little happier, there's not much.

No report on that. It will probably make it easier for them to relocate more employees to their campus!

And lets not forget the large gift we gave Citibank to build their new mansion that is located almost in St Augustine... People in this city kills me. There is so much bais in regard to DT. They claim the Everbank deal is making this suburbs vs downtown rilvary. But its actually the citizens that are doing it.
