Duval DOGE

It’s really too bad Rory’s never been in a position to write laws, if he was on a city council he’d be all over this!

Man Rory, it’s too bad you never were elected to city council for 7 years or put on the Finance Committee 3 times or allowed to make a “Department of Government Efficiency” so you could help determine the city’s finances.

The JEA scandal involved more money than every previous scandal in Jacksonville history COMBINED. The only bigger crook in Jacksonville than Aaron Zahn is the guy that put him there, Lenny Curry, who’s continuing his JEA obsession with puppets like this account and Kevin Carrico.

We know why @lennycurry wants to make JEA a central issue, he’s still mad he didn’t get away with selling it and they fired him. But why are any other Republicans going along with it? Do they not read their own polls?

The Jacksonville GOP is really struggling thanks to the bad leadership of people like Lenny Curry, Kevin Carrico, and Rory Diamond. A few years ago they didn’t need to do things like this to have a chance at winning races.

“Allegations of mismanagement” were made up by this account’s puppeteer, the failed mayor @lennycurry, after JEA fired him from his lobbying contract. And now he’s dragging the whole Jacksonville GOP into his personal obsession with selling JEA.

Does ex mayor Lenny Curry still support selling JEA? We know he does, but it’s still weird.

Lenny Curry was in bed with Aaron Zahn who’s in prison for trying to sell JEA. How did Curry even get a contract with JEA after that?

You’d think these guys would have learned to quit trying to sell JEA after one of them ended up in prison. But they just keep going.

BREAKING: Guys behind the JEA sale attempt that people went to prison for still want to sell it; big mad they couldn’t

Here’s a better question than any you would ask: why would the former mayor who pushed the JEA sale and Aaron Zahn, leading to a historic scandal that people went to jail for, ever get a lobbying contract with JEA? And why are you and others carrying his water?

“(Carrico) also revealed that the fathers of consolidation were wise to envision a strong mayor, in part because incidents like this show that when people advance beyond their natural ability, their learning curve comes at the expense of the city itself.”

What's the Jacksonville City Council Presidency for? New column. @JAXTDY jaxtoday.org/2026/06/21/opi…

“The version that they gave last week obscured the fact that there is an entire top half to this message that we are not seeing,” Monroe said. “And they haven’t provided us any specific statutory reason why that stuff is being held back.”

The Local Option Gas Tax was passed by (checks notes) City Council and Mayor Lenny Curry 2 years before Donna was elected. Thank you for drawing attention to one of Lenny’s big tax hikes! firstcoastnews.com/article/money/…

The Republicans have zero respect for the people. When the people VOTE no, Byron believes he knows better! Same with redrawing our congressional maps, the people VOTE no, the Republicans say who cares what the people want. These guys have got to go! floridapolitics.com/archives/80189…

Psst Rory, you want to delete this one. Your own auditors explained it was nonsense at your own Duval DOGE board on February 3. You just didn’t hear it because you flaked out and skipped the meeting. And then didn’t read the report for 4 months. Oops! jaxtoday.org/2026/02/03/flo…

⚠️ WARNING- The property tax amendment disclaimer This constitutional amendment may cause increased dependence on Tallahassee, reduced local independence, replacement fees and assessments, higher borrowing costs, altered housing incentives, expanded lobbying activity, and, in certain communities, financial distress. Not effective for renters. Renters may continue experiencing rising housing costs without receiving any advertised tax relief. Effects may last longer than four hours. Some effects may persist for generations. Before voting, ask your Governor whether county-by-county and city-by-city financial modeling is right for you.

That’s one-time money and you know it. To make up for this tax cut you’d need to cut $300 million in recurring spending. What are you going to gut? Fire? Police? Roads? Park maintenance? Permitting? It’s easy to make decisions with the people’s money from your oceanfront mansion.
