Tonight, Florida home-owners roared back at their local governments and said “enough is enough.”
The Amendment 3 vote is a resounding slap down of bureaucratic waste, phony non-profits, and developer kick-backs.
Welcome to the Freer State of Florida.
Tonight, your Jax Council and Mayor Deegan ignored your voices on Amendment 3 and voted to give $40 million to downtown developers for this Publix project.
They don’t care about you.
Instead of saving for police, fire, roads, and trash, they gave your money to developers.
If the @fbi wanted to make some public corruption cases, they’d tap Jax phones before these incentive votes.
This is nuts.
Donna will do or say anything to shovel even more money to downtown developers.
Oh, and they are her campaign donors.
Mike Weinstein makes $271,000 a year of your tax dollars working as a “public servant” for @MayorDeegan, and says he can’t afford a pay cut.
He would rather cut library hours and after school programs than his own feathered nest.
The arrogance of these people is disgusting.
We aren’t paying for the renovation.
Let me stop you right there.
After years behind fences, the Laura Street Trio could welcome the public again before Christmas as Becovic pushes ahead with plans for its growing six-building downtown portfolio. bizjournals.com/jacksonville…
Counterpoint: the election last Tuesday.

Tonight, the Atlantic Beach Commission race recount ended in a tie.
There will be another recount tomorrow of mail and early votes.
Love our great candidate Jen Lagner.
And, all this could be for naught bc Lagner’s opponent filed under the wrong name against Florida law.
Filling in your real name isn’t that hard.
Proud to represent conservative Jen Lagner for her recount today in Duval County.
Great candidate, great person.
Best. Tweet. Ever.
Good evening @NCAA, I’d like to self-report all of my texts with Kyle Whittingham and Jason Beck.

Just wild how hard Mayor Deegan is pushing to pay back her campaign donors.
This is corruption.
We can’t afford it.
Friday Flashback: Buyer beware or good deal? CP Nick Howland said today council will vote next Tuesday on nearly $50M subsidy for Publix anchored Pearl Square Development after 3-3 deadlock in Finance committee actionnewsjax.com/news/local…
So far, failing the moment.
She STILL wants $50 million for downtown developers/Publix next week.
Total arrogance.
Amendment 3 wasn't supposed to pass, according to the polls.
Between issues with independent agencies and a new state requirement for fiscal restraint, the 2027 mayoral race all of a sudden is an open question.
How @MayorDeegan meets the moment will be pivotal to her re-election chances.
Hialeah the grown-up in the room.
Donna Deegan thinks voters are stupid, and she can play out the clock until the Spring election.
Hialeah considers salary cuts and hiring freeze after Amendment 3 approval miamiherald.com/news/local/c…
What a shock she lost.
CC: @PeterSchorschFL You always have some slick shit to say. Either you’re a racist or you’re pissed @micheleforfl doesn’t want you. Knock it off.
Boom! Excellent!
🚨 JUST IN: U.S. Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) is RUNNING for House GOP Conference Chair, the number 3 job in Republican leadership
STEUBE: "I’m tired of WEAK leadership that can’t deliver on basic common sense promises. If we don’t have real conservative options to choose from to lead our conference, I will absolutely consider running for leadership!"
That sets up a three-way fight with current Chair Lisa McClain and Erin Houchin
House GOP leadership races are officially kicking off!
Unclear if Thune will face a serious challenge in the Senate.
