I hope TALLAHASSEE REPORTS keeps up their long
tradition of printing the facts while other local media groups have become nothing more than cheerleaders.
The trial of Mark DeCarlo vs City of Tallahassee
may be delayed due actions by the City Defense Attorney.
If you were planning to attend, call the FEDERAL CLERK OF COURT FIRST.
Your support is appreciated. You may be VERY surprised of how the City government has been run
for years. This IS a case of David vs Goliath!

The Federal trial against the City of Tallahassee
is scheduled to start on 22 February, 2016. The
first day will start with jury selection and will then proceed to questioning witnesses if there is
any time left that day. The trial will be held in
the Federal Court building down town. You can show
your support for a firefighter/Iraq & Afghanistan Vet looking out for public safety and your tax dollars by attending the trial and getting
as many others to attend as possible. The lawsuit is Mark DeCarlo Vs City of Tallahassee.
THANKS

I’m a Liberal Democrat & I was bullied as a City Employee — there is no anti-intimidation policy at the City of Tallahassee — they only enforce violations of federal labor laws. I have colleagues who are both Liberal Democrats AND victims of *truly outrageous* behavior by COT management — med- and high-level. I’m not entirely sure “Liberal Democrat” has anything to do with it.

In reply to brad. It used to work exactly like that at the local rag too, Brad. Under the destructive decision-making of judge, jury and executioner Bob Gabordick, the paper lost over 80% of its full-time newsroom employees.

She announced her retirement before this.

Considering the representatives of the city of Tallahassee that are involved here it does not surprise me that this type of illegal investigation has taken place. I am sure that upon further review by a competent outside investigator/ agency would find that City Managers have used this course of action before. Like most other crimes committed by members of city hall this will be swept under the proverbial rug.

This is common practice for the city to use their resources to have people fired or politically pushed out in both the private sector as well as government positions! Believe me I know and oh yeah Leon County has done the same. It is just the liberal democrat way of our city if you challenge or disagree we will ruin you or try anyway.

Let’s hope that the criminal prosecution penalties for misuse of the databases will be applied to city personnel in this case.
Look for the higher-ups to try to throw a subordinate under the bus so none of them get tagged for this.
If I was a subordinate city employee involved in this, I’d keep a very meticulous digital and paper record of who exactly ordered me to do something and when – your upper-level bosses will certainly be happy to see one of you take the fall for them. Hope you city employees are reading this, for your own sake. There is no obfuscation or anonymity available on a courtroom stand.
