Tommy Hazouri
Jacksonville City Councilman Tommy Hazouri says he will introduce new legislation to update the city's human rights ordinance to provide legal protection for LGBT residents.
Hazouri withdrew a similar bill earlier this year because there were not enough votes on the Council to pass the measure.
Now though, as the world mourns the victims of the mass shooting at the Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando, Hazouri says the HRO has fresh urgency in Jacksonville.
Tommy Hazouri joins us to discuss the issue.
