Governor DeSantis, standing before a Jacksonville congregation, launched a fiery critique of Amendment 4, the restoration of voting rights for felons. His words reverberated through the pews, painting a stark picture of the amendment’s perceived failures. The church, a haven of faith, became a stage for a political battle, echoing the larger national debate on criminal justice reform.
Jacksonville’s urban core is humming with activity. Two new developments are taking shape, promising to transform the city’s skyline and pulse. One project, a gleaming tower of glass and steel, will rise above the riverfront, while the other, a vibrant mixed-use space, will breathe life into a once-forgotten corner. The city’s future is taking a bold, new shape.
Twenty-five souls, adrift in the city’s currents, will find anchor. Jacksonville’s new program offers a lifeline, weaving a path from the shadows of homelessness into the heart of a home. Hope, once a distant beacon, now flickers bright.
