It is always so much fun sharing a book with our young readers. On this windy day, it was a great opportunity to read 'Noah Chases The Wind' for a group of students at the Regency Branch of the Jax Public Library. We got our 20 minutes of reading in today, will you? Remember, it paves

We know it is absolutely critical to solve the affordable housing crisis here in Jacksonville and it's going to take a team effort from the philanthropic community, private sector, developer industry, and community at-large.
 
With that goal in mind, I am committing $10 million

.Mayor Donna Deegan‘s focus on boosting Jacksonville’s health insurance enrollment rates is an important step in improving health outcomes around the city. Kudos to her team and the other groups doing the work to increase health care access.

The only story that matters today. Anyone who has ever gone to the hospital uninsured knows those bills can wreck you. And that's exacerbated by a lack of insurance discouraging preventive care.

Mayor Donna Deegan’s priorities are where they need to be. Seeing our uninsured numbers decrease this much is an achievement that other Mayors only wish they could see.

Oh, and it’s not even been a full year. Can’t wait to see more progress in our City from the Administration

Jacksonville’s Emerald Trail is receiving federal funds to construct 30 miles of trails, greenways, and parks. This is long overdue and will finally reconnect 14 historic neighborhoods to downtown, the St. Johns River, McCoy’s Creek, and Hogans Creek. news4jax.com/news/local/202…

I'm glad justice was served. As has been said, this was one of the greatest schemes to defraud the taxpayers in the history of Jacksonville. During the trial, we heard a lot about the type of behavior that we don't want to see in our government ever again. JEA will always stay in

Melissa Ross So exciting! I remember seeing this pic when they went to DC and thought, Donna is not messing around when she says she wants to go after federal grants.

Special thanks to Kay and all at Groundwork Jacksonville for the years of hard work to get the project ready to take off.
