A.G. Gancarski
This week, Florida Politics presents a series of pieces explaining why 2016 went as it did in Jacksonville politics, while suggesting where 2017 might go.
Look for the following pieces this week…
“A.G. Gancarski surveys the wreckage of his 2016 predictions” does as the title suggests.
The author takes an unsparing look at where his crystal ball went wrong last year.
Spoiler alert: it went wrong more than once.

While some of the predictions turned out to be correct, anticipating the biggest stories of 2016, others were off the mark.
News happened anyway – and plenty of it. Though much of it wasn’t what we expected a year ago.
With that caveat made explicit, and other caveats implied, our second 2016 retrospective lays the year out in what a pessimist might call an autopsy and what an optimist might call a celebration.
“Subpoenas with a side of sauce” presents a look at the scandals, the lows, the highs, the political obliterations and emergences alike.

Mercifully, we then leave 2016 and look ahead at what the stories should be in the year ahead.
In the “10 predictions” and “10 people to watch” pieces, we tell you what we see happening, who we see mattering, and why.
Enjoy the pieces. Bookmark them. See how right – or wrong – they are three, six, nine, or twelve months down the road.
