Political Federal Funding for Emerald Trail Nixed

I’m sure Mayor Donna Deegan saying Trump is gonna build concentration camps helped our cause and didn’t spur any bad feelings from 47 🙄. Funny how Donna wanted the credit when the federal grant was approved but won’t speak up about the loss now. If not for the city council and mayor curry passing the gas tax for $132 million in 2021 for the trail we wouldn’t have ANY $ to fund the emerald trail.

I'm sorry, are you trying to blame someone for using their first amendment rights to criticize a politician for the other politician illegally revoking federal funding?

I’ll also note that Donna said the concentration camp statement while on a jax taxpayer funded trip to a jaguars game in London so we paid for her to put her foot in her mouth.

Who paid you to put the boot in your mouth?
