City officials are meeting Friday to try to get more answers about how the Rebublican National Convention will be handled in Jacksonville next month.
At the same time, a lawsuit filed opposing a large convention claims it would be a “nuisance” to the “health and welfare of the community of Jacksonville, Florida.”
Jacksonville City Council President Tommy Hazouri, who is also a former mayor; and Jacksonville attorney W.C. Gentry, who filed the lawsuit, along with several other local attorneys, joined us with more.
