Well, fortunately I doubt (and am certain) that he doesn’t really deny his family to live at the estate, but he and now his wife just say they do. Remember, this is coming from the same two who were paid salaries by Mr. Maddox’s father out of the PBA funds meant for police employees and their families. Funds that were so egregiously mismanaged and misappropriated that Mr. Maddox’s father was ousted and denied a pension for the gross misuse.

Like father like son…look at what Mr. Maddox is now teaching his sons. It is ok to dupe the taxpayers and skirt the laws in order to obtain a city commission salary and benefits and then use tax dollars and resources to defend it.

It is deplorable that the Tallahassee Democrat editor condones this behavior along with Mr. Sachs who condones it also. They both should have added the disclaimers as giving and receiving funds to Mr. Maddox through advertising and campaign contributions.

When you have this level of deceit it spills over into the level of leadership and competency one has, hence; the result being #1 in crime, utility and CDA debacles.

It is sad to watch the way Mr. Maddox treats his family…and citizens, and sad the way the Tallahassee Democrat and Mr. Sachs condone,enables, and promotes the factors that leads to Mr. Maddox harming our community and making it unhealthy.

The other local newspaper claims this is a non-issue–that Maddox, and essentially all elected officials, can conduct their business from wherever they lay their hat at the end of the day. They’ve even stooped to name-calling. They’ve labeled Erwin Jackson, who is trying to hold Maddox and essentially all elected city officials accountable, a “gadfly.” Rather than fact-checking, they’ve condoned unlawful behavior and demeaned the one person who is doing what is right. How deplorable!

Thank you, TR!
