JEA, JaxPort, Stadium, etc., are what US Bureau of Census calls "Public Borrowing for Private Purposes". These siphon off tax revenues bit by bit. Worse, the City Council has been using a complex financial game (refunding, which basically pushes repayment of debt off to a future generation) to avoid actually 'paying the piper'. A Blue Ecosystem would make sure voters were aware of the bills they are passing on to future generations.
