On Thursday, with all eyes on Jacksonville and the Republican presidential debate, political and policy leaders gathered on the First Coast to warn about the threats of the increasing cost of the federal government.
At a forum held at Jacksonville University, former U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez joined David Walker, a JU alumnus who served as comptroller general of the United States and the current CEO of the Comeback America Initiative, and Robert Bixby, the executive director of the Concord Coalition.
The Concord Coalition, founded by former U.S. Sen. Warren Rudman, R-N.H., and the late former U.S. Sen. Paul Tsongas, D-Mass., is dedicated to fighting for fiscal responsibility for the federal government. The group is currently chaired by Rudman and former U.S. Sen. Bob Kerrey, D-Neb., who -- along with Tsongas -- ran for the Democratic presidential nomination back in 1992 and is now contemplating running again for the U.S. Senate from Nebraska.
Walker started the forum off with a warning about the federal fiscal situation.
