I dont think it really has anything to do with pushing one mode over another. it is bigger than that.

Yeah, just the name "Bland" alone speaks volumes of Jacksonville's charactor and intrests. (or should I say "lack thereof")

Can't we always count on JTA to do the wrong thing? BOHICA!

Live blog coming our way?  I have an insane amount of work to catch up on, otherwise I would be there.

Yes, we're planning to have either Stephen or Ocklawaha there to possibly live blog.

I got on the WS7 bus this morning. This is the bus I take every day; And each day it seems to get more crowded.

So I had four comment cards left in my backpack. I pulled them out and addressed the packed bus.

I said that this rout is overcrowded and if you can help me. Who wants to take a comment card and tell them that we need to run this route every half hour instead of just every hour. We also need to run the bus later also.

Everyone agreed and I gave away all of my extra comment cards. I then told everyone that more cards are available at the main terminal. I hope my movement takes off.

Is there more I can do?

Any suggestions?

No Stephen and all I have is my cell phone. Should be an interesting meeting. Each candidate will give a 10 minute presentation and answer questions from the board. Then the board will make their selection.

It will be Bland first, Ford second, and Martin to present last. They'll eliminate one candidate first and then debate the final two.

Congresswoman Brown pretty much just said its going to be a problem in the community if the winner isn't a minority.
