The city’s first female mayor has already faced many high-profile issues since she was sworn into office three months ago,One change News4JAX has noticed since Mayor Deegan has been in office, the City Hall doors have been opened where they had been closed in the past. It’s something Deegan said she’s trying to do across the whole city.
There have been very emotional issues as well, like the shooting where three Black residents were murdered in a racist rampage at a Dollar General store. “I don’t really know if that’s true,” Deegan said, referring to tying her legacy to what happens during negotiations. “I think that one thing that I do hope is that people say that I want to be a city with vision, I want to be a city that this doesn’t look one year or five years out, I want to be a city that looks 20 or 30 years out.”News4JAX asked Political Analyst Rick Mullaney of JU’s Public Policy Institute to weigh in on Mayor Deegan’s performance so far.
“You know, the number one goal that I had coming in here, in addition to all of the plans on infrastructure, and downtown, and all those things we talked about, was to try to bring people into City Hall to create more of an environment where people felt connected to their city government,” she said. “The first 100 days, I don’t think I could have asked for much better.
