There are a number of things on here I'm very happy to see:
I will work to make sure the Neighborhoods Department is not buried deep down inside the bureaucracy of city government, but that it is front and center with a dedicated staff that is both efficient and responsive to the needs of the taxpayers and focused on helping solve community based issues.
Neighborhoods is a great tool for connecting citizens to the government, not only on crime issues but many others as well.
Ex-offender re-entry
Definitely need more focus on rehabilitation and re-integration, rather than just paying to lock up the same folks again and again.
In economic opportunities,
Because I won't grow government I will move a high-performer into the Mayor's Office to act as a Small Business Liaison/Case-Worker/Facilitator to help navigate the first year of starting a business.
This is something that would be incredibly useful, and is a long time coming.
I will immediately audit all permitting and business regulation functions in the City of Jacksonville and determine which ones work - and which ones don't...
Something else we've needed for a LONG time.
Promote and Facilitate Co-Work Space for the Next Generation of Sole Proprieters...
Good.
