From Linda Storey - Candidate, City Council, District 4

I completely oppose the high levels of mercury in our air and water. I also oppose the JEA being allowed to raise the rates without voter approval or city council approval. JEA needs to give back their excessive "bonuses" to JEA and they need to eliminate all their wasteful practices. This will more than pay for their needs, but the taxpayers of Jacksonville should be given a rate reduction! Especially those who are conserving on energy! We have not done enough with solar energy. Why hasn't the JEA put solar panels on all the schools in Jacksonville, saving about $100,000.00 of taxpayers money per school? The JEA needs to eliminate the mercury emissions by 70% by 2008.
