Low taxes, broken promises related to consolidation, and a large pipeline of infrastructure projects (stadium, parks, septic tank phaseout, jail relocation, convention center, UF, etc.) are why, years later, it still irritates me that Lenny Curry and Aaron Zahn so badly poisoned the well on any talks about privatizing JEA that any further discussion of the idea is a total non-starter. There's no reason it can't be an option we kick the tires on as a city, talk about honestly and realistically, and vote up or vote down via referendum.
