Action News uncovers who gave the order

Any city that gave an NFL team 5 million dollars while cutting services, deserves what it gets.

My grandmother always said "never put all your eggs in one basket". Guess the person that made the judgement call to move to a "not ready to occupy" courthouse needs to rethink his decision.

I have known mr Schock for many years and have found him to be a very competent and fair minded person. He has a great record of public service. I am sure I do not know all of the behind the scenes details but I would say the worst case scenario was that mr Schock was trying to be helpful to all parties and he was given bad info. Let's not look for scape goats when this is the responsibility of the contractor to perform

If Mr. James Schock cannot pay for his screw up out of his own pocket its time for prison in the same amount of time someone would get for embezelment of that amount of money from the taxpayers. He might be willing to bypass building codes but he should not have the same luxery of snubbing the taxpayers.

Schock should receive the same level of punishment from the city that Blackmon will receive from the jags.

Jacksonville has become a national laughing stock with this courthouse boondoggle. The issue began with complaints of mold and mildew that rendered the old courthouse unusable.Anything in Florida is subject to mold and mildew problems. You clean it up and provide maintenance to keep it that way. Our leadership decided to embark on a plan that has literally thrown the baby out with the bathwater.The easy-destruction mentality kicked in and instead of elbow grease to remedy the matter the city council voted to just build and move. "Move" has always been a four-letter word to most of us. To add insult to injury, instead of replacing furniture at the facility as the need arose due to use and ordinary depreciation, somebody decided not to replace it. Again our city council spent the tax-payers money as if there was no tomorrow. None of us out here living in the Kingdom of Jacksonvilleland understands this thinking.The council seems to keep doing the same dumb things over and over again looking for a different outcome. As Congress has tied the country up, the City Council has tied Jacksonville up.Let me recommend a book for all elected,appointed, and city-workers for the Consolidated City of Jacksonville (another bad idea): Tom Man, a noted congressional scholar, writes and speaks widely on American politics and policymaking, including campaigns, elections, campaign finance reform and the effectiveness of Congress. His most recent book, co-authored with Norman Ornstein, "It’s Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided With The New Politics Of Extremism", is a must read. Mayor Brown, and President Obama suffer from the same diseases in government caused by their own advisers, ...political polarization, lack of the ability to compromise,personal agendas.

Whoever signed off on this doesn't need to be put on suspension (with or without pay) or reprimanded. They need to be fired ASAP. The amount this person cost the tax payer is probably more than three years of their salary.

Senterfitt likes to be on tv like his brother, He should have checked out it a long time ago. The Senterfitts poor judgement has cost the city millions over the years The city should get rid of them, Angela Corey should be put in a office trailer or a closed down shopping mall.
