In reply to John Paul. Shame is too light. Absurdity is more the adjective.

The shame is that Tallahassee voters will reelect them again!

This was a really poor article. First of all it claims that the city eliminated positions then immediately advertised them when in fact they probably just didn’t immediately update the website.

While the personal information for the people who lost the jobs is public record, I think it’s pretty bad form for city to publish their names, ages, salaries etc. internally to the remaining staff. I’m sure in their case it had to be done to head off rumors.

However I find it inexcusable that the Tallahassee Reporter would then take what Imassume is a leaked document and publish it online without at least redacting the names.

This is fake news, and it’s just another petty purely political attack based on BS. It’s fake news.

Could voter corruption play a part in why the citizenry of Tallahassee keep electing candidates and incumbents that are obviously looking out for themselves first? That includes KD for those who think she is such an upstanding individual. Really?! Could you have gotten the deal on that house?
City Hall should be razed and all those there should be kicked out. For those COT employees that think they are not to blame, they work hard and play buy the rules – you knew what was going on! COT is like a small family and everyone knows who the bad guys are.
To stick your head in the sand and pretend you saw or knew nothing has cost taxpayers thousands and thousands of dollars and helped prop up the corruption. In this day and age there is no excuse for looking the other way. So if you end up unemployed and find out you were actually replaced, you have no one to blame but yourselves.
I am probably whistling in the wind because I don’t imagine those folks read Tallahassee Reports.

I guess that will teach the rest of those upstart city employees to complain or bring attention to a problem. Better keep your mouths shut or else!

Speaking of underground utilities, I saw at its worst, TS Emily knocked out power to 18,000 central/south Floridians today.
And how many Tallahasseans lost power on “Hurricane” (because it was downgraded to a tropical storm when it hit Tallahassee) Hermine? Over 70,000!

I guess it really comes down to the moral compass that apparently people at City Hall are lacking. As a public employee one has to follow the law, do nothing illegal or immoral, and remember that citizens and tax payers are who we work for.

You would think with an ongoing FBI investigation, that $ 35,000.00 legal team would advise our beloved Mayor, Commissioners and Managers that firing people for budgetary reasons is going to raise a few eyebrows. Posting those positions as open less than a week later is bound to draw the attention of those previously mentioned pesky investigators. The entire Commission, Management team and Ethics Board has to go. I’d suggest they resign, but that would resemble an act of dignity and honor. Don’t think I’ll hold my breath waiting for any of them to do that.
