Bouqs & Bricks

BOUQ:

 To the Jacksonville Transportation Authority for providing local students free rides to school.  Middle and High school students are eligible to ride JTA buses and the First Coast Flyer every day at no cost through JTA’s My Ride 2 School program.  To learn more, visit www.jtafla.com

 To VyStar Credit Union for creating the MOCA Centennial Scholarship. The four-year scholarship is part of the celebration of the Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville’s 100 anniversary. The VyStar MOCA Centennial Scholarship will empower one student to complete a Bachelor of Arts degree in the Department of Art, Art History, and Design at the University of North Florida.

 

BRICK:

To Senator Rick Scott for being Rick Scott. The former Florida governor is spending millions in an attempt to cover up the fact that he is doing everything he can to block bipartisan legislation to protect access to contraception and IVF. He literally voted nay just one day prior to the launch of his coverup ads hitting the airwaves.. That’s not the worst of it.  He is lying in another ad about President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris indicating that they are responsible for allowing criminals and drugs into our country stating that they support protesters burning American Flags in our nation’s capital.

Recently investigations by various organizations and news outlets have also revealed that Scott is fully behind Project 2025.  He plans to ban abortion nationwide and terminate the National Flood Insurance Program. The leaders of Project 2025 have also endorsed Scott’s signature plan to raise taxes on middle class families and end Social Security and Medicare as we know them. MeidasTouch News also uncovered that Scott has actually stated that it is his “honor” to join the group for the launch of Project 2025. He is linked in numerous ways to the Heritage Foundation, of course.

To Phil Perry, Chief Communications Officer for the City of Jacksonville. Perry has implemented policies which are more restrictive and biased towards traditional media than any prior administration. Mayor Deegan’s office has hired a lot of former politicians and their families, but shouldn’t let partisanship interfere with the First Amendment and Constitutional rights of its citizens.

The American Dream: Dead or Redefined?
