Guest Writer from Tallahassee knows Dem Gubernatorial Gillum well. Duval helped Gillum win.
NOTE FROM EYE FOUNDER, BILLIE TUCKER: Duval County helped Socialist Gubernatorial Candidate Gillum win. Without Duval County, he would have lost. What’s up with Duval County? Are our citizens ready for socialism? We asked Friends of Eye from Tallahassee to give us their take. They are residents under Mayor Gillum and are no fans of […]
Teacher Sex with Students in Duval County Schools. We had to pay for this information & now we wait!
This story is based on public records. Records that Eye purchased. The only time in my life – most of which has been spent in the newspaper business – that we were required to purchase information the public is entitled to know. First, a few observations. The fact that we had to pay for it […]
Former Mayor Brown calls for “gun control.” That’s not the issue, sir.
Another day, another “mass” shooting. This time in Jacksonville. The usual responses: We must find an answer. March in the street. Protests. And, of course, the liberal agenda. This time, it came from former mayor Alvin Brown. More gun control. If you had to make a list of things NOT to do, that would be […]
We can dream of a better land where all my brothers walk hand in hand. Thank you to the first responders of Jax.
We had just arrived downtown for our Sunday afternoon date. We have been attending the Florida Theatre these past few months for their Summer Movie Series. We were happy to get out of the hot weather and chill inside the theatre watching The Big Lebowski. As we drove around looking for a place to park, […]
Eye on Jacksonville welcomes new City Council President, Aaron Bowman
City Council President Aaron Bowman is taking steps to change the notoriously short-term thinking of politicians into a mindset that takes a longer view. Because of term limits, and the annual change of council presidents, the council tends to operate in one-year cycles. Obviously, some issues remain in the political realm much longer than that. […]
Killing our children and children killing children. We need some LOVE, friends.
I woke up this morning to the horrible news of a gunfight at Raines High School. Presently one young man is dead and two are wounded. It occurred on property shortly after Raines High School Friday night football game ended. The only incident at the stadium prior to that had been a group of […]
Hypocrites at the NFL owe our hometown hero, Tim Tebow, an apology.
Well it begins again. The NFL 2018 Season is upon us and we all waited to see what would happen. Would they kneel? Would they stand? Would they place their hand over their heart? It was a mixed bag across the NFL and 4 Jaguar team members decided to stay behind in the locker room […]
Mob tactics: Erasing your enemies. It’s happening nationally & locally too.
I was excited to see the new website for the City of Jacksonville Office of Special Events. My social and business calendar is filled with local events. I enjoy every venue in my hometown and am proud of all we have to offer for fun and relaxation. So – I eagerly scanned the website to […]
Sex in our Eye headline created outrage in a subscriber. A WINK to her!
This week we published an article about the school board’s response to Eye’s Sr. Editor, Lloyd Brown’s request for information about teachers having sex with their students. It took a while for the Duval County School Board to respond and when it did – we were informed we had to pay for that information. WHAT? […]
What do you think? Should school systems be “union driven” or “student driven?”
Members of the School Board have gone on record opposing Amendment 8. Board member Becki Couch led the effort to oppose the constitutional amendment, which will be on the ballot in November. The proposed amendment does three things: Imposes term limits school board members. Allows a new entity to approve charter schools. Requires more education […]
Shoot outs in Jacksonville. Is any one or any place safe? No.
Once again innocent people are gunned down by thugs (and yes we know that word is politically incorrect but you tell us a better word to use and we’ll fix it). Yesterday an innocent 7 year old girl was caught in the cross fires of a shoot out in a parking lot of a local […]
Are school teachers having sex with students in Duval County? Who knows.
School teachers in Jacksonville may or may not be having sex with students. We would like to tell you which, but we can’t afford to buy the information from the school system. We asked the question a couple of months ago. The school system got back to us, eventually, and said they would tell us […]
City’s website disses the hard work of Citizens Planning Advisory Committees from 400 neighborhoods
Another example of the city government’s failure to design and maintain a Web site that is useful to the public: There are six Citizens Planning Advisory Committees in the city. They are formed of people from the more than 400 neighborhoods in the city and their purpose is to provide input to city officials. Want […]
Transparency in our city government DOESN’T exist and it’s shameful. What are they hiding?
It is shocking how the local media have allowed city government to gradually diminish the media’s – and the public’s — ability to get information. In the late 1960s, Florida became a national leader in “government in the sunshine,” by opening public records and meetings that previously had been closed. It was so broad that […]
