I'm not going to sit here and say that Mayor Brown has been a downtown God, but we've had more happen downtown in his 3 years than Peyton's 8.

Well Peyton invested in his family lands out on south side

Yepper,and that was an easy bounce.

^And he'll take credit for every bit of it, whether he had any part in it or not.

Of course he will, after all it is HIS JAZZ FESTIVAL with his name on it. lol

Peyton did little downtown because well, there was more to be done in the suburbs, he did complete with work of the BJP, not pretty all the time, but did so. Could he have done more? Sure, but so could the current administration. The only one with vision in the last few years seems to be Delaney.

^ I think Delaney has done an excellent job at UNF.

Carter's words are meant to indict the city's leadership, or actually the lack thereof. Most likely both the current and prior administrations.

Ron is right that a strong forceful leader is needed.  Too bad the last one, Delaney, was forced from office by some stupid term limit nonsense.
