We discuss the week's biggest news stories with our roundtable of local journalists: Fred Matthews, Examiner blogger; Dan Scanlan, Florida Times-Union reporter; Tim Gibbons, Jacksonville Business Journal editor; A.G. Gancarski, Folio Weekly and Florida Politics columnist.

Topics include the City Council possibly giving voters the chance to decide whether the city should enact a half-cent sales tax to help with Jacksonville's pension debt, the Downtown Investment Authority's long-range plan for downtown, and the controversy surrounding NBC News anchor Brian Williams.

Our pop culture philosophy contributor Nicolas Michaud shares his thoughts on "Fifty Shades of Grey" as a movie adaptation of the best-selling novel is released to theaters.

And we speak with First Coast author Siggy Buckley about her new book "Next Time Lucky: How to Find Your Mr. Right".
