Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry on Saturday night appeared on One Nation with Brian Kilmeade days after the host slammed Jacksonville on national television.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.

Took it to City Council. 19 members of City Council, it needed 13 votes, it got 12. City Council voted it down.

Councilman Matt Carlucci wrote Kilmeade a letter last week expressing his irritation with his comments about the city. Carlucci on Sunday sent News4JAX a statement about Curry’s interview saying:

100 days in, Adams shows why he’s New York City’s “perfectly imperfect” mayor“[Mayor] Eric Adams essentially told us that he was going to be a wildcard and I don't think he's deviated from that,” Christina Greer, a political scientist at Fordham University, said in her assessment of the mayor's 100 days in office. How does NYC do such a consistently terrible job at electing mayors when it excels in so many other things Catering to the rich sports team owners, ✅ Using Giuliani era homeless policies, ✅ Reviving stop and frisk (almost) ✅ Favoring rich developers, ✅ He's settled into complete conventionality just like Hochul. NYC will never elect a wildcard even in a crisis when some new thinking might be necessary.
