Providing and maintaining excellent customer service requires trained and committed staff. I believe the City does a very good job providing service from every department in the organization. If you disagree with senior management, don’t extend your dissatisfaction to the worker bees.

He can just add on another full time job. He only has three jobs right now. Mayor, People for the American Way……..Foundation, and some kind of DNC job in FL.

I wonder how many full time positions a single human can have before the IRS takes a look and says “Hmmmm….When does the man sleep?”

Maybe is is a super hero.

It sickens me to no end that rich lobbyists get a free building to build a restaurant at the Edison (taxpayer dine) and other well connected access hundreds of thousands of dollars for their own private ventures – to build buildings and restaurants and patios.

Its really starting to piss me off and I think someone should start a referendum to require all this to be voter approved.

I went to the Tallahassee Democrat facebook page to read the comments and leave a comment. I have been banned from leaving comments.

As Sonny Branch used to say: “It’s a cabal” up at city hall and the local newspaper runs cover.

Talking to rank and file officers would indicate the pay increases were not necessarily due to collective bargaining with the PBA. The bottom line, Rosemary, is the City is giving raises beyond the ability of taxpayers to support. It is about to be 25% of increases compared the all workers getting just over 7% (keeping in mind some of that increase comes from City workers). The issue is not merit, it is government taking money from taxpayers when the taxpayers are not doing too well.
