Today Jimmy Hill, another candidate for Mayor, was on his band wagon about “Transparency, the lack thereof” too. Check out an interview with him here: https://www.firstcoastnews.com/article/news/jacksonville-is-not-operating-in-transparency-jimmy-hill-discusses-campaign-for-mayor/77-1e5c76fc-e124-434a-8ff6-0c7a1a7b4d98
Eye on Jacksonville started our platform almost a year ago and our Mission was to Encourage Transparency and Integrity and Expose Corruption and Cronyism.
We at Eye are pleased to see that others now see what we saw.
The “lack thereof” is a real problem in Mayor Curry’s administration. Eye has written about it many times and yet nothing seems to have changed.
With so many of us seeing the problem, evidently it’s time for Mayor Curry to look in the mirror and check things out. It’s a real problem, Mr. Mayor. If you don’t believe it – there may be a new Mayor of Jacksonville coming soon.
She craved anything leadership related and enjoyed being around the world of entrepreneurial CEOs. She watched as they made decisions; pondered how they would make payroll when cash flow was tight; and appreciated how they created career opportunities for hundreds of thousands of people. Because of her experiences, she has emerged as a key resource for the media and others who want to understand important insights about executives, management teams and board dynamics.
In 2008, Billie became discouraged as she watched some of her clients struggle with the political economic impacts on their businesses. The same CEOs who mortgaged their home and charged up their credit cards to make ends meet to build a business and keep others working, now watched as their government bailed out the big banks who had mismanaged their resources. She cringed as most of her clients laid off employees for the first time and she vowed she would help them… somehow…someway.
That somehow…someway showed up in the Tea Party Movement in America. She formed one of the largest tea party group’s in America (more than 9,000 members strong) and helped bring attention to America’s debt problem, out of control spending, over taxation and regulation strangulation on companies.
With her background in working with leaders and her influence in the political and leadership world, Billie has continued her dream to help CEOs navigate these troubling waters that permeate the world of capitalism in America.
She has been an active participant in the media as a guest on CNN, Fox News, Fox Business, Bott Family Network Radio and co-hosts a political/financial radio show in the Northeast Florida market entitled, Smart Money.
She was the first speaker at the House of Representatives Tea Party Caucus inaugural event and was invited by Heritage Foundation to speak at their prestigious annual Heritage Resource Bank, and on their National Security Panel live broadcasts.
She spoke at the Congressional Republican House Retreat in Pennsylvania in 2012. She was also the co-host and co-producer of the CNN Tea Party Express Debate in the 2012 Presidential Election.
She is a firm believer that America needs more entrepreneurs and more opportunities for people to use their God-given talents and passions to better themselves, their communities and America.
Her favorite quote has become her mission to help CEOs succeed:
“Vision without execution is hallucination.” – Thomas Edison
