I was sorry to hear about Michelle. She was always helpful to me during the city commission meetings. I wish her the best of luck in whatever she chooses to do.

A firing like this is what puts another nail in the coffin for loyalty from employees – public and private sector. These better than thou bosses who dismiss just because they can should one day find the shoe on the other foot.
But I do take exception to Christians in the workplace who do not speak up when they see and hear unethical and sometimes illegal activity. It’s never too late to right a wrong. Keeping your head in the sand gets you a cardboard box of your belongings and an escort to the door. I wish Ms. Bono the best.

In reply to Preston Scott. I have read all of the comments posted and I believe they have not only BLESSED me, but Michelle as well. What Steve failed to include in his article was the unethical way they fired her after 19 years. Come or watch tonight to hear how it happened at the City's Commission meeting. We love you Michellle, and there's nothing no one can do about it including you!

Tell me again!

Rick has fired Michelle, one of the brightest lights in that dark place and hired Ben Pingree, a certified unethical person!

As they say in Cuba: Que pasa?

I have known Michelle Bono for many years. She is a fine Christian woman. She gives 100% to all that she does. I am sad that the city manager has done this but I know with the faith that Michelle has in Jesus Christ another window or door will open for her. It will be a much better place to work than the city of Tallahassee. Good luck Michelle!!!

Good piece, Steve. Michelle Bono deserved much better and, perhaps, she will get much better by getting out of the cesspool senior management has become. She was always cordial, polite, and professional. It is the City’s loss and I have come to believe, based on the firings, Rick Fernandez’ tenure may not be what many of us had hoped for.

I have to second that Michelle was a very nice and helpful person in her capacity. However, I will always wish that she had the backbone to sing like a bird! Oh yeah how is that federal lawsuit going with the fire fighter going lately?
