Our mayor is a poison pill.

If Gillum says that I was on his invitation only list for the Mayor’s Summit on Children, he is not being truthful. I obtained a copy of his invitation only list via a Chapter 119 Public Records request.

I will send Gillum’s invitation only list to anyone who requests it. Feel free to call me at 850.556.1098.

Government by invitation only smells like fresh dog poo.
I hope all the participants keep aware of the consequences of acting like crooks: You will be treated like crooks.

I wonder when or if the liberals get so discussed they would consider a recall election? Hummmm.

In reply to Steve Uhlfelder.

Steve, Your integrity separates you, sir. Sadly, there are already people inside the Mayor’s “circle” that have received benefits and you need look no further than the Edison project. As someone who is sought after by the Mayor you have an opportunity (and responsibility?) to shape how this type of dialogue is conducted. Mayor Gillum needs buy-in from the “community” – all of it. It starts by how he conducts himself within the City Commission, then the County Commission, then to the citizens. His actions since taking the Mayor’s office is fracturing relationships because he is choosing – across the board – to distance himself through his rogue manner. From Ban-the-Box to this Summit and everything in between. You can influence his conduct. The citizens will benefit.

In reply to Hope. Actually, Bill now lives in D.1. These sentiments regarding Proctor are spot on. He is pro business, but he fights for his district. With 80% of the vote each time without spending a dime to run he owes nothing to no one. He speaks his mind - like it or not and is not beholden. You all need to hit the email boxes of all Commissioners. There is a growing resentment of Gillum and how he (and his posse) is operating.

I thought the Summit was excellent and will lead to very positive outcomes. I was proud to be a sponsor and expect nothing at all from the Mayor or city.

In reply to Alex. Bravo with the aside that Proctor is serving illegally also and is part of the reason his district (which he does no legally reside in) suffers in blight and crime. Perhaps you should advise Proctor to run for the At-large seat so he would be serving legally.
