As a city employee I feel a bit betrayed. We who work in the utilities field. We who work are fingers to the bone. We who work all hours of the night in treturouse weather, yet the closer we get to October the more we hear the same Ole song about not knowing if a raise is in the budget this year. 34% Are you kidding me, and I’m here worried if I’ll get a 2%. It’s rather sad.

In reply to Dirk Dynamic. How do you know who I voted for? Further, these are not liberals in any sense of the word. They are good ole boys, Dixiecrats in modern garb if you will, and no different than conservative Republicans, who are equally hypocritical when it comes to serving themselves first. Of course the alternative of kill-government tea party lunatics is not any better. If we had a mayor like Bernie Sanders was in Burlington, Vermont, that would meet my definition of a liberal. Whether you agree with him or not, he has not enriched himself at the public trough while serving the people. Show me one conservative with that kind of principled integrity. Rick Scott? Marco Rubio? Get real.

In reply to Philip. Sorry Philip, but you liberals keep voting for the same old liberals. Classic example of Einstein's definition of insanity.

What about their total benefits/cost to the city, pension calculations, cars, allowances, insurance policies, country club memberships? Any deferred comp? A copy of their employment contracts are available with a public records demand.

What did we expect from Fernandez? He’s a long-time protégé of Anita Favors Thompson, who mentored him well in her style of “management”, and these lessons are now being reinforced by the “leadership” of Mayor Andrew Gillum.

In reply to Hope. I have heard this referenced a few times. How is this person related to to someone in a hiring position at the city? Any proof? Who is it?

In reply to Mike. The informed voters may vote against them but incumbents rely on the uninformed voters who vote based solely on race, gender or political affiliation. They have no knowledge of the issues, such as the budget or voting history or needs of their community, and don't care.

In reply to Steven Hougland. I believe all sitting commissioners should be voted out of office for their failure to take control of the city operations. However, your promises sound very much like the promises made by the current commissioners, including your opponent. What makes you any different?

There is not one employee working for the City of Tallahassee worth more than $100,000 per year. This is legalized stealing.
