From the "I shit you not" file -- here's the Mayor's fundraising email that went out today.  The Subject Line is: Political Courage.  Perhaps a subtle response to Mr. Rummell?


From: Alvin Brown On Behalf Of Alvin Brown
Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2014 
Subject: Political Courage

When I ran for Mayor in the 2011 campaign, plenty of people counted me out. They would tell me that I did not have the backing of the right people, or enough money to run and win. I knew better though- what matters is having the backing of the people who live and work in Jacksonville every day.

That is just as true today as it was then. I am just as driven to do everything I can to improve our education system, help people get back to work, and work to create a better quality of life for all our citizens.

Together we can continue to take Jacksonville to the next level. Please consider clicking here to donate $5 to my campaign before the deadline on Wednesday at midnight.

Thank you for your support
-Alvin

P.S. The deadline is coming up soon! Please donate $5 to my campaign before then.
TAKING JACKSONVILLE TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Paid for and Approved by Alvin Brown, Democrat for Mayor
3698 St Johns Ave Unit 3
Jacksonville, FL 32205

Lol. Sounds like he may alienate one of his biggest donors thus far in Shad Khan. I mean the statement about he needs the backing of the right people, those that live and work in Jacksonville every day.  Well Mr Khan does not live in Jax and does not work in Jax every day, not even close. So way to stick thou foot in thy mouth once again Mr. mayor. (Yes, lower case m is deserved).

Happy to know of the deadline.  I will be spending my $5.00 at Bold Bean where the caffeine can actually take me to another level.  :)

One year later, still an interesting read.

Now that Curry has officially declared...

If I vote for Brown, it will be to protest how Curry came to be a candidate and then, how he campaigned.

The Republican establishment could have thrown their support behind a number of undeniably good candidates.

They didn't.

So, do I want a flood of "establishment" Curry supporters to dictate policy (which I think they will) or am I willing to deal with four more years of mediocre leadership?

I'm leaning towards Brown.

If Brown was merely mediocre, you may have something there.

I don't know-overall average is what I'd say. He does some things really awful though; particularly financial. That's definitely my biggest complaint of his.

How do you fail to send a balanced budget to city council not 1, not 2, not 3.....but 4 years in a row. The man has no idea, after 4 years and people want to give him 4 more so he can use his toes for advanced math?

The more thought I give it, the more unimportant I think it is for the mayor to produce a yearly budget.  It's not going to happen.  Your guy Curry isn't going to be able to do it either, advanced math or not, when every department under you is requesting a larger budget from the previous year and the revenue is still stagnant, if not declining.  Isn't he running on a 'no new taxes' mantra as well?

Which programs are you willing to see cut?   Wouldn't the representatives of each district be more in tune with what's essential and what not?

I may be mistaken, but doesn't the CFO come up with the budget and the CEO only signs off?  Who's the CFO for the city?

Hell, it seems this forum contains a wealth of fiduciary genius based on the sheer quantity of criticism of the budget.   I'm sure the city would put up a plaque in a very prominent place, using the money you saved, if you'd quit being so secretive and just donate your wondrous plan to the city for the benefit of all of us.

well put NRW....

Curry says his #1 priority is restoring the 147 officer positions cut from JSO over the past few years.  That would likely cost more than $15 million.  Where will he find the funding for that given his no new tax pledge?  What other city departments will be cut?
