Tommy Hazouri among ‘bipartisan finance team’ for Jax pension-tax referendum sales pitch
Rest in peace, Tommy Hazouri.

Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry announced his “bipartisan finance team” for his “Yes for Jacksonville” political committee, designed to market the pension-tax referendum.

“This group of community and business leaders come from both political parties and bring an incredible depth of experience,” said Curry. “Their dedication to the city’s future and commitment to a victory for this reform ensures we have the resources to demonstrate the importance of a ‘yes’ vote in August.”

Some members are to be expected, such as Marty Fiorentino of the Fiorentino Group, former General Counsel Fred Franklin, and stalwart Curry backers Tom Petway and John Rood.

One member is surprising: Councilman Tommy Hazouri, who famously battled with Curry on the human rights ordinance expansion issue months back.

Clearly, the former mayor and the current mayor have found a common political cause.

    At this point, will anything other than unanimous yes vote satisfy the Leader? Maybe the “no” option on the ballot can be replaced with a write-in slot. http://www.just-vote-no.com
