People also shouldn't be shocked about a city council member having ambitions for running as a mayor as far as "predictions" go. I'd say it's more of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

His posturing with the Lot C vote was definitely a trigger to announce his plans.  He's run before.  He can run as the guy who stared down Shad Khan.  He claims he loves the Jags and wants to keep them here.  We'll see.

I'm with you there, I was absolutely disappointed in hearing this news.

I also believe that Lot J, the Shipyards project, and stadium renovations/lease will get passed one way or another - and perhaps in a different order than we expected.

Ultimately, a lot of political and financial posturing occurred but I think that Khan and the developers might ease up a tad on their end of the bargaining - whether it be having them shift their capital infusion earlier than what was proposed here, creating a joint deal with the multiple projects at hand, or pursuing something else.

Just ready for this city to take the next step in moving forward with positive developments especially with a willing investor and a deal that is reasonable for all parties involved.
