    Florida Politics and Jacksonville with A.G. Gancarski
    2026/07/24

    Step into the complex and ever-shifting landscape of Florida politics with renowned political reporter A.G. Gancarski. In this episode, we dissect the mechanical realities driving the Sunshine State's political future, exploring everything from looming constitutional property tax amendments to the early, high-stakes maneuvering of Jacksonville's 2027 mayoral race.

    In This Episode, We Discuss

    • 🗳️ The Property Tax Amendment Paradox: We break down why the proposed constitutional amendment to eliminate property taxes is losing voter support. Support drastically drops when voters learn about the potential $11.8 billion budget shortfall affecting core local services.
    • 🌴 Florida's Gubernatorial Race: We take an early look at the upcoming race for governor, analyzing Representative Byron Donalds' massive campaign war chest. We also discuss why he might still face a surprisingly tight contest against Democrat David Jolly.
    • 🏛️ Jacksonville's 2027 Mayoral Matchup: We explore Mayor Donna Deegan's formidable $2.6 million fundraising momentum and her successful efforts to win over the Republican donor class. We also examine the crucial communication hurdles awaiting potential challenger Wyman Duggan.
    • ⚖️ Local Controversies Unpacked: We unpack the Jacksonville Aviation Authority's ongoing clashes with the City Council regarding Cecil Field's spaceport capabilities. Additionally, we provide the latest expectations regarding the state attorney's investigation into Kevin Carrico.

  • The Tributary's Nate Monroe

    The Tributary's Nate Monroe
    2026/07/08

    In this special episode marking the third anniversary of Mikes on Mic, hosts Mike Miller, Mike Hightower, and Mike Tolbert are back in the studio together to celebrate three years of insightful political conversation. Joining the celebration is investigative reporting legend and Executive Editor of The Tributary, Nate Monroe.

    The Mikes dive deep with Nate into the latest political shockwaves rocking Jacksonville, from unredacted text scandals and public records battles to the changing guardrails of local government and the future of the city's independent authorities.

    Key Topics Discussed

    • The Kevin Carrico Text Scandal: Nate breaks down his recent reporting on former City Council President Kevin Carrico's "inartful" text messages regarding a Boys & Girls Club land deal and his flippant approach to public business.
    • The Public Records Battle: A look behind the curtain at the considerable fight The Tributary and other news organizations faced to extract complete text messages from city council officials, raising serious transparency concerns.
    • JEA & The Investigative Committee: The fallout of Carrico's accusations against JEA CEO Vicki Cavey and why the council seems ready to move past the drama.
    • Scrutinizing the Unscrutinized (JSO): Nate discusses how the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office budget consumes a massive chunk of the general fund yet traditionally escapes rigorous council oversight.
    • The Death of Local "Guardrails": A poignant look at how Jacksonville politics have nationalized into a permanent partisan campaign mode, shifting away from the traditional influence of local stakeholders with "skin in the game".
    • Nat Ford’s JTA Legacy: With JTA CEO Nat Ford resigning effective January 2027 after 13 years, the team reflects on his knack for securing federal grants balanced against the controversial autonomous vehicle program and the fate of the Skyway.

    Notable Quotes

    "Kevin Carrico, as council president, has now had to either apologize or explain away the kind of flippant language that he has used to discuss public business repeatedly... In plain English, it reads quite badly.""When cities lose their newspaper... fewer people run for office, partisan attitudes increase, local government spending goes up. It's not just that public officials act differently, the community changes in serious ways."

  • An Update with Mayor Donna Deegan

    An Update with Mayor Donna Deegan
    2026/06/24

    In this episode of Mikes on Mic, hosts Mike Miller, Mike Hightower, and Mike Tolbert sit down with Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan live from City Hall. As she begins the final year of her first term and launches her 2027 re-election campaign, Mayor Deegan reflects on her commitment to turning renderings into reality and keeping her administration's foot on the gas.

    From downtown revival and neighborhood infrastructure to navigating local political drama and bracing for a major state-level tax battle, Mayor Deegan shares an inside look at the challenges and triumphs of leading one of Florida's fastest-growing cities.

    Key Topics Discussed

    • Jacksonville's Momentum: Mayor Deegan highlights the city's growth, including major investments in riverfront parks, healthcare, and pioneering local funding to address the affordable housing crisis.
    • Neighborhood Infrastructure vs. Downtown Revival: Addressing critics, the Mayor details how downtown development brings a high return on investment that funds neighborhood projects. She highlights an increase from $15 million to $100 million for infrastructure in underserved areas, including vital septic tank removals.
    • Public Safety & Prevention: A look at why violent crime numbers are down, the impact of literacy initiatives in partnership with former Mayor John Peyton, and the implementation of Journey Forward intervention programs.
    • Navigating City Council Relations: Mayor Deegan discusses her working relationship with the new Council President, finding common ground on jobs and economic development despite differing views on what constitutes "core services".
    • The Tallahassee Threat: A deep dive into the upcoming November homestead exemption referendum, which threatens a $300 million revenue hole for Jacksonville and strips local control over quality-of-life funding.
    • Florida’s Best-Run City: Mayor Deegan reacts to WalletHub’s recent study naming Jacksonville the best-run city in Florida, contrasting the ranking with recent unspecific criticisms from the State CFO.

    Notable Quotes

    "People say it all the time to me, that they can feel Jacksonville's momentum. It's clearly a city on the rise, and I think that is what I am most proud of...""This is big government, guys... We are the government closest to the people. We should be allowed to run our own cities without interference from folks who literally were not elected by our citizens."
