How do any of u idiots think the “awesome” reporters in Tally found any of this out?! Because it’s public record!! It’s called a bidding process… the other city and county commissioners have to vote to approve it. Knowles billed the city and county for work he did for them… Also public record! Maybe u ppl should learn a little more about how contracts and public records and bidding processes go before u start talking out of your….. cuz most of these comments are clearly posted by uninformed idiots that need lives.

All the bidding at COT is looked over by a favored few. Most of the RFP’s have been developed to favor the vendor they want. You should go there sometime and sit in on a bid opening. Listen to the conversations of the bidders waiting out in the hall before the bids are opened. Unless you call them on something immediately, their cronies get the bids and they get the kickbacks. It is a travesty and did not start with the current bunch…it has been going on a very long time. Do you recall the name Anita Favors Thompson?
Who do you think decides who is hired in the COT and Leon County offices? If you think it doesn’t matter if an illiberal is hired, what planet are you on? I have yet to meet a Democratic or Bernie supporter who is not interested in fattening his/her wallet first using the guise to “paying back my community”. Such BS! Tallahassee is on the same path of all the other cities who prefer and continue to elect Democrats to run the finances and lifeline of those cities. It is what it is…corrupt all the way around with those knowing better choosing to ignore and others burying their head in the sand to keep from knowing.

In March 2017, the Miami-Herald reported that the development partner for Casanas Village, the Miami-based Pinnacle Homes, is facing a five-year funding ban by the state’s Florida Housing Finance Corporation and the loss of million of federal dollars after the company’s principals were caught inflating costs.

Pinnacle is one of the state’s most active builders of affordable housing. It is the partner in construction of the Casanas project on the corner of Georgia and Macomb Streets in Tallahassee. The parties involved:
Tom Lewis, Big Bend Community Development Corporation (formerly the Frenchtown CDC)
Pinnacle Housing, Miami
Frenchtown Square LLC (formed by Pinnacle and Big Bend CDC)
City of Tallahassee
Florida Housing Finance Corporation

Curious why no mention of Pons LCS and Hildebrandt the self proclaimed “informant”? Maybe the Superintendent of Bibb county schools is a twin of our former Superintendent of Leon county schools

In reply to Bannon Greis. Randolph is highly regarded. He is in no way implicated.

This Georgia investigation likely is the source of the Federal records demands of our own “usual suspects” here in Tallahassee.
Think about it prior to giving up the dirt on our “usual suspects” 69 year old Knowles was guranteed to die of old age in a federal prison.
Now after giving our local crime family up he will likely pay just a fraction of his ill gotten gain and walk out a free man.
Now after Knowles made his deal there will be very little our “usual suspects” can do to avoid a long prison term.
