You can blame Scott Maddox for making the mayor an elected position when he thought his political star was rising back in the early 90s.

In reply to Preston Scott. The mayor is the head of Young Elected Officials Network, what the Network calls progressive, some would call Marxist. This is a dangerous man, dangerous to our way of life and as it appears at least on the surface, unawares of ethics. Preston, it is the same old, same old. Instead of white corrupt machine politicos we now have black corrupt machine politicos. Unfortunately for our black citizens, they will find out the hard way that having elected a black politician will not better their lives, maybe even worsen it.

As usual, Preston is correct. The only change to his comment that I would suggest is to refer to Mr. Gilliam as the most recently elected mayor. He had Mr. Marks as his mentor and the ghost of him remains in Mayor Gilliam. Not a good outcome for Tallahassee.

We should listen to Preston Scott and the things that the Tallahassee reports reveals. This is literally sick that Mayer Gilliam feels he can pull an Obama and sidestep truth,transparency and processes that are “suppose to be central” to elective office.
It is arrogance of the worst kind.
I asked someone if they saw American Sniper akd her reply was shocking, “I would not dare go see a Republican propaganda movie like that”.
It is sad.
Thank you Preston and Steve.

Preston, as far as Gillum not answering tough questions, he is merely following the ‘Obama Way’.

Brad, yes foolish voters.

Tallahassee is in trouble.

What did you think was going to happen? Business as usual for the COT. What foolish voters!

Policticians continue to push and tug at the limits of what they think they can get away with. Hold this man to the fire when he does not wish to answer questions. This only represents a red flag to me. So please dig deeper to get to the bottom of it. Sooner or later he will see the error of his ways by not being up front and answering questions as the truth emerges.

It’s disappointing how easily our elected officials become the problem instead of the solution.

A couple of thoughts: This is exactly what I warned everyone of, at least those who listens to my radio program, before Gillum was elected. He would not answer questions and he doing the same in office. He will not talk to anyone who dares ask tough questions. Second, City Commissioners are now the only real line of defense. You need to demand that they reel in the new Mayor. Gillum is determined to push the agenda of People for the American Way, an organization that even makes many Democrats nervous.

Why would anyone want to go TO Pittsburgh FROM Florida in January. Sounds fishy to me.
