Editorial: Gas tax increase is a good investment in Jacksonville

Editorial: Gas tax increase is a good investment in Jacksonville Our View The City Council is expected to take a final vote Wednesday on whether to double the local option gas tax from six cents to 12 cents. Raising the tax would generate about $1 billion over 30 years to pay for badly needed transportation infrastructure projects like roads, bus stops, sidewalks, drainage, bridges and other improvements. And it would free up money in the city budget to phase out our failing septic tanks, which are an increasing threat to the St. Johns River. Mayor Lenny Curry’s proposal has received some resistance from taxpayers who don’t want their taxes raised, even though a 12-cent gas tax would cost the average driver less than $100 a year.

Editorial: The Great Fire of 1901, the possibilities for Jacksonville 120 years later

Editorial: The Great Fire of 1901, the possibilities for Jacksonville 120 years later Our view The redevelopment of downtown began 120 years ago today when the Great Fire of 1901 razed the city. Jacksonville was a very different city in 1901. It was the largest city in Florida with a population of about 28,000, half of whom were Black. It was a major destination for winter tourists, who arrived on Henry Flagler’s new railroad. People crossed the river on ferries or private boats. On May 3, 1901, in a matter of hours, the fire destroyed 2,368 buildings covering 146 city blocks. It displaced 10,000 residents and killed seven. The disruption to lives and businesses makes the pandemic look like a cakewalk.
