Jim Bailey: Enough is Enough.

[BoldBoyOfTheSouth]

Jim Love seems like a horrid person.

[bill]

Let me get this straight, youu supported Love? A anti business bully who voted against your GL ordinance. While there was an "extremely qualified opponent"?

I knew you where bad at this but WOW. Too funny.   

[bill]

Translation-Please excuse the rambling diatribe, as that is what I do when it has been demonstrated to all what a boob I am. This is what happens when you make every decision devoid of reason and common sense. Even though I have been on the wrong side of literally everything, keep in mind that I am the smartest guy in every room I walk into. Your welcome for being able to be on the same planet as me.

I am certainly not voting for Jim Love but I am also worrying about who will be running against him...sometimes the Devil you know is better

It's important to demand accountability from people running from office before and after they're elected. Jim Love saw an exploitable constituency, and took advantage of it. He was a mistake, as was Alvin Brown, and now it is time in the up and coming council elections to make a Human Rights Ordinance and important platform issue for all candidates. It is through attrition those of us fighting to improve social and economic liberty for people will eventually get this through. It is also important for activists to reach through traditional power structures, and their complacent leadership, and touch the people they claim they represent. The one thing killing the prospect of the city passing a Human Rights Ordinance are the egos of a few folks in leadership roles.

I'm ready to get involved for equality and making our elected officials accountable.

Me too Bold...I'll go to meetings and ask any candidates running in my district { 14 } if they are for Equal Rights for all of the citizens of Jacksonville, I'm still upset I too was suckered in by Mayor Brown.

Stephen - Everyone is extremely disappointed they were suckered in by Brown, even the lackies who have yet to come clean and admit it!

the gayest district in the city voted Jim Love into office--narrowly beating an extremely qualified opponent, Jill Dame, only to have him vote against the Human Rights Ordinance.  He was later patted on the head with a special introduction to the congregation of the largest baptist church in the city for voting against his constituents.

He also helped engineer zoning changes designed to shut down new businesses in riverside, since a couple of the anti business activists at RAP (still a great organization) couldn't legally bully new business owners without them.

I'd be happy to see Stephen and Kay fight it out. My money is on Kay.

But at least he's not as useless as Peyton....

[BoldBoyOfTheSouth]

For as medicore as Mayor Brown is, he at least would not have taken our city and region backward like that Hogan would have.

Peyton represented his era in Jacksonville, not much excitement and a city beginning to fall behind and be forgotten.

Mayor Delaney, now that was a Republican I can stand with. Delaney represented his era when Jacksonville gained several Fortune 500 companies, Springfield was rising, downtown had hope and placed money & resources into our libraries and roads and built things to help & continue to help Jacksonville elevate to the next level.

Mayor Peyton, unfortunately took a bold Jax on the rise and guided us into stagnation and dudrums. Just as Jax was about to raise to the next tier, Peyton lead us to no longer having the pride and gumption to take that next step.

Hopefully out next mayor will be of the caliber of Mayor John Delaney.

"Gentleman Jim" Baily.

Bold.

Well, let's see, Peyton did stand up to Sleiman and said the city would not bend over for improvements at the Landing, something Brown seems to be ready to do.

Peyton did not bend over and give in to 43 million in video boards either. Peyton was not my favorite either, but he did a lot less bending over than Brown has done, and if you elect Brown again, its only going to get worse.
