Deegan is our Mayor, not our Monarch. Waiting until nightfall before taking a backhoe to the Women of the South monument is blatant overreach.
This was Council’s decision to make. Regardless of your opinion of the monument, this is abuse of power & disregard for transparency.

The anti-Semitism seen across Jax this weekend has no place in our city or our country. Let’s not forget that America has fought FOR liberty and AGAINST bigotry more than any nation in history. Bigotry disrespects those discriminated against AND those who fought & bled to end it.

Veteran suicides in Northeast Florida dropped from 78 in 2019 to 42 in 2021. That’s a 46% decrease - by far the best in the State and likely the nation. Our community is fighting and our programs are working. Together, we will end veteran suicide.

Tommy Hazouri’s 30+ years of service to our City epitomizes servant leadership. A very special dedication this morning … and so well-deserved.
As a former Mayor, Council President, School Board President, and Florida House Representative, the impact that Tommy Hazouri has had on our City cannot be understated. Today, it is our distinct honor to re-name the former Mandarin Park and dedicate it as Tommy Hazouri Sr. Park.

To me, one measure of a great leader is how much freedom and individual liberty he or she has created for others. Dr. King’s contributions to freedom were immense and profound. Without doubt one of America’s greatest leaders.

Florida is the best state to start a small business and Jax is the best metro area for small businesses in Florida, according to The Credit Review.
Main reason? Our low taxes. That’s also why large businesses continue to move and expand here.
