  1. You voted for it, you got it.

    If he thinks the past year has been one of progress, he’s not only a liar but an idiot as well.

    If some of you believe him, at least he’s got company.

    Liberals, still so easily duped.

    Oh boy can’t wait for that boring speech and his lack of respect for the citizens of Gainesville.

  3. That's the way it is

    He’s right.
    1.They’ve progressively raised our utility rates to the state’s highest.
    2.They’ve sat back and watched the crime rates get progressively worse.
    3.They’ve watched as law enforcement officers have progressively left.
    4.They progressively subject the residents of Gainesville to Draconian rules & regulations.
    5.They continue to progressively cause the homeless population to increase.
    6.They’ve raised their salaries without complete disregard for the true “worth” they bring to the community.

    I believe the proper address would be the “Continued Regression of Gainesville Under the Guise of Fake Leadership.”

    1st we need GRU to generate poverty,
    2nd we need Dem skools and Section 8s to breed crime,
    3rd we need EMS and GPD for emergency social work,
    4th we need the courthouse lawyers and judges to skim money off the victimized public and invest in more landlord Section 8s due to the huge backlog.
    5th, Repeat.
