We were able to catch up with Mike Weinstein for a few minutes near the end of his campaign kick-off meeting at the Prime Osbourne Convention Center Tuesday night.
We had a few questions in regards to Mike's thoughts on downtown Jacksonville and the city's budget. Weinstein discusses the state of downtown, the homeless population downtown, obstacles facing downtown business owners, the failed construction of the new courthouse, and the city budget.

The answer is simple: Lower taxes!
