The last two sentences of Preston Scott’s comments sum up the tenure of Scott Maddox perfectly.

In reply to Larry michelson. Larry, are you serious? Which neighbors? The ones he, his wife, and kids lived near in the county? There is not one person who believes he, until very recently, lived in the city. In fact, everyone from law enforcement to delivery people know where he lived. His kids' friends knew where he lived. And that is just one of many, many issues. He was not eligible to serve. Scott could have been a very effective Commissioner. But, his constant conflicts of interest, self-interests, etc. have negated much, if not all, of his positive impact.

“I don’t want to say mean things about Maddox. It just seems like his campaign has been seriously put in question, regardless of whether or not the reports were accurate,” – Former State Attorney Harry Shorstein, 2005

It seems like trouble follows his accounting at the state level. Locally, not so much. I would expect a “no-go” on the Senate run and about-face to run for Mayor again. Any takers?

In the Tallahassee Democrat article by Jeff Burlew he sways it pro Maddox as a clerical error. This is an example of a reporter journalist being biased and acting more like a PR rep for the Usual Suspects – now Criminal Suspects – than being an unbiased reporter.

Surely the TD should be concerned when there are previous histories of Maddox’s gross mis-management of finances – The Democratic Party of Florida – for one example was a huge financial mismanagement by Maddox that involved the state and federal levels. Well, here we are again deja vu.

I was hoping Burlew’s biased reporting would be checked at the door with new TD management in place, but apparently not.

Perhaps, Maddox (mis)used his campaign monies to gamble away on his Las Vegas junket.

Dr. Jackson, Tallahassee owes you many sincere thanks for continuing your long struggle to expose corruption and unethical actions by our elected officials.
Although the wheels of Justice have turned way to slowly in the past decade or so, perhaps your dogged efforts may finally be rewarded via the FBI and our elected officials own arrogance in barely disguising their corrupt dealings at this point. As my father always said “Give a fool enough rope, and sooner or later they’ll hang themselves.”
