In reply to KC. It has been said many of the times the vote was turned down was because of the "power" issue by those currently in those offices at the time. Times have now changed and the need is never more necessary than today to consolidate. An elected sheriff over one police body is needed. No pandering to commissioner, only being responsible to the people every four years.

Who in their right mind, having seen the articles regarding the CDA, would still push the consolidation issue? The effort to combine one portion of one aspect of the two governments has been, and continues to be, an absolute albatross.
The most responsible business in the world is the sole proprietorship. Every adaptation beyond that creates more room for corruption and blame avoidance.
75 delegates (seventy-five) just came home after creating a huge illusion to take a title of “All American City.” That should tell us all very much about what this commission and manager are all about – illusions.

In reply to George K. Walker. Long overdue. City corruption is out of control. Time to consolidate the city and county into one and stop all this waste.

It’s not “Gabourie,” Hope.
It’s GABORDICK.

Please spell it correctly. 😉

And you wonder why people leave for other opportunities.

In reply to George K. Walker. The question HAS been answered multiple times via public referendums and the majority does not wish to consolidate. The late sheriff had made multiple attempts to make this happen, and each time it has been defeated by a public that knows it is the guppy trying to swallow the whale.

Isn’t it amazing she brings this to the fore front as she is about to retire. This building has been in a shambles for years.

It is past time the public received an answer to a question posed by one of our long standing County Commissioners several months ago. What are the necessary steps the public must take to place on the next November General Election Ballot the following for an up or down Vote? Question: TO CONSOLIDATE THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE CITY OF TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA AND LEON COUNTY, FLORIDA INTO ONE CONSOLIDATED CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT, as mandated by the laws of the State of Florida.

In reply to Chris. All it takes is three votes and she's gone! Call your City Commissioners today.

It is sad that we find ourselves listening to the City Manager tell the City (suddenly it appears) how run down the condition of the Police facilities currently are. This happens over a period of time, thus it has been ALLOWED to happen. I remember a time when City Managers of the past never let this happen (ie: Dan Klemen). What exactly qualifies someone to assume such a position, and is there a way to hold the City Manager to the fire for not managing properly or being the voice (publicly if needed) to ensure this is not allowed to happen?
