Mayor Brown we tax payers expect our safety first! Not high paid city administrators and managers earning over $100,000 a year. Cut your high paid staff and administrators pay, DON'T layoff or leave vacancies in our Police, Fire, and other working personnel who are paid under $100,000 a year who provide for this city's SAFETY. Why can't you find room in the budget to replace damaged "recycle" bins and garbage cans damaged by your recycle and garbage pickup personnel? The LAST thing we taxpayers should hear is that we do not have sufficient police and fire personnel on our streets. Yes! We need lower property taxes, but make the cuts which benefit tax payers. Placing a high priority on bringing companies to our city lines your pockets in various ways but, does very little to benefit the tax payers. We have watched many businesses come to our city and the NFL but, our property taxes just keep getting higher. It is time to STOP the trend. Are you the Mayor who will provide for your citizens, their safety, and reduce our property taxes, as your highest priority. If so, you will be the first and best this city has seen.

LIARS !!! search; GOVERNMENT WEALTH and watch the 1st video that comes up. THE BIGGEST GAME IN TOWN. Then ask your lying Mayor questions about the COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORTS. If he replies "I never Heard of such Reports," ask him to resign. JACKSONVILLE IS FILTHY RICH WITH YOUR $$$$ ALREADY !!!
