JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Monday marked 100 days since Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan was sworn in and a lot has happened in that time.Action News Jax sat down with the Mayor Wednesday to discuss the biggest events, challenges, and successes the city has seen under Deegan’s leadership.
But Deegan has faced questions regarding her decision to approve 22 grants in the budget for non-profits, some of which have direct connections with council members. “We have to make sure that the system looks transparent to people that are looking from home,” said Deegan. “I did not expect the level of pushback that I received. So, I’ll say the lesson is to make sure you line up your votes,” said Deegan.“That racist killing over in New Town. That was the hardest moment for me. It felt like a personal failure that during my time in office, we had citizens that lost their lives for such a horrendous, horrendous purpose,” said Deegan.
In terms of priorities Deegan campaigned on, the restoration of the Jacksonville Journey is already underway.“We’re gonna include the community with a whole program of 20 minutes of reading a day. We’re gonna have a competition. We’re gonna have people get involved for prizes and things to get it kicked off, so people get focused on it,” said Deegan.
