And yes, our residents are quite satisfied with their below average tax rates

But the end result was a bond rating UPGRADE to our city from Fitch because "the city made material expenditure reductions" and "the city continues to demonstrate a commitment toward maintaining strong financial resilience"

Welcome to have Mr. Ingoglia to Gainesville. This will be the SECOND DOGE style slashing of our city by the state in just two years. The first series of state -imposed cuts gutted us to the core:
☑️ Eliminated 9.5% of positions, 161.5
☑️ Deep cuts to non-public safety departments

WE’RE NOT WASTING ANY TIME! I promised taxpayers I would audit local governments and protect their tax dollars. Tonight in my role as CFO, in conjunction with @DOGEFla and the @GovRonDeSantis administration, we sent these 7 page letters to Gainesville and Broward County requesting financial information on compensation, contracts, DEI, etc. Accountability is coming.

A great opportunity in Gainesville. The Gainesville MTPO is hiring a director as we transition it to a new independent organization. This person will lead transportation projects in the area and set up their own org. Take a look and apply before it closes:

This Florida Housing Summit by @FloridaPolicy was tremendous. I got to speak about the housing reforms in Gainesville and meet people I've been looking to for years like @OldUrbanist and @KodyGlazer.

Afternoon panel discussion features Christina Mojica of @reason on vouchers, Félix De Portu of @AURAatx on single-stair and other Austin reforms, and @FlaBryan on Gainesville's groundbreaking zoning reforms which he spearheaded as city commissioner

@noroneill Thanks! Hope you’re doing well in Charlotte. You’re missed here in Gainesville

@FlaBryan Such a thoughtful and beautiful piece, Bryan! There’s no place like Gainesville 🧡

Gainesville has long been the creative center of Florida, the "other Florida", the weird city of the Sunshine State. How do we put that creativity into our city design? How do we give it a "sense of place" in a time of austerity and uncertainty:

Urban design isn't magic — there are specific reasons why we like some places more than others.
So here are 10 ways to make a street more (or less) interesting...

Fun fact: Gainesville was the 1st city in Florida and the 3rd city in the US to fluoridate our water in 1949. It's a huge public health success one that a UF professor found saves $18 for every $1 invested

“There is healthy introspection going on right now on the left on how we may have gotten in our own way in terms of getting stuff done. The one that’s provoked the most discussion from people like @ezraklein & @mattyglesias is around housing.”

Composting Celebration Day at Grow Hub in Gainesville this morning. Big day in the city with a Tom Petty festival and our Fall Arts Festival

@JacksonOfFL My gut told me they were swinging more Rep, the young people I spoke with seemed more Trump supporting, but that’s not bearing out in the data
English
@FlaBryan FSU young people went much more GOP, so, guess UF is just better
English
Lots of talk of young people swaying more Republican. No evidence of that here in Gainesville. Our on campus precinct at UF is more Dem than it was in 2016 and significantly more than 2008 (57.94% for Obama)
If young men were swinging Rep this is where we’d see it, and we’re not

Out knocking on doors for Kamala Harris today with my new friend Ana from Ocala. She drove up to Gainesville to help the team get out the vote. Three more days!
English
@mattyglesias I have no idea how you’ve done this everyday for so many years and still have things to say. You should just write some more nostalgic ska related content.
English
I responded to the Speaker Pro Tem's threats against our city & its employees. We've eliminated 161 positions, cut $11.9 million in expenditures. Residents are paying more money for less, and w/ no reduction in GRU rates. The ppl have given enough, now it's time to hear them
English
I love that @Jason_Garcia is highlighting the work of Orlando & Gainesville in housing reform. I've long been a fan of his and I loved having the chance to talk on his podcast about Gainesville's recent single family zoning reforms. Give it a listen!
