Liberal myths about school funding persist
Duval County School Board Member Elizabeth Andersen complained that the increase in state funding “will go through voucher programs and our charter schools,” and not be invested in local district schools.

Money trail from the city to the Chamber is intriguing
In what could be an amazing coincidence, it appears that since Mayor Lenny Curry took office, the city of Jacksonville has been paying the salary of Curry’s heir apparent. Timing is everything. In 2015, Curry was elected mayor of Jacksonville. Also in 2015, the Jacksonville Chamber received $200,000 from the Jacksonville annual budget. Since 2015,…

Jacksonville has heat islands. Who knew?
The local media is agog over another liberal exercise in futility. People have been doing scientific research by “traversing” (going around) the city with thermometers, seeking to map “heat islands.” Like the mythical “food deserts,” heat islands are another way the Far Left has of dividing up America into haves and have-nots – and pretending…
