Can a lapdog grow up to be a watchdog?

Who was the head of Public Works and what was his/her issue? I missed all of that.

Ziffer is pandering for political purposes and it is appalling! ZIFFER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING RIC IN THE MANAGER POSITION so as to continue their corruption. They did not do a nationwide search and put Ric in as their pawn so their corruption could continue. Ziffer is as bad as Maddox as Ziffer managed a $100 k payout for a family member through the city attorney. No other citizen would be able to receive that. They all ignored the Consolidated Joint Dispatch problems, promoted themselves via junkets on the taxpayers dime, ignored the high crime rate to where we are worst in the state, and enabled each others corruption.

When Ric gave himself and cronies a huge raise was the point where the city should have cut ties then.

When a city manager fails to secure texts and even deletes them with no back up then that should be “with” cause. This is harmful to the integrity of our government and for the commissioners to not terminate immediately is only more evidence that each commissioner should resign themselves or be voted out.

No further investigation is needed! And as for contracting for a silly investigation…the Tallahassee Democrat already investigated! The TD found the missing texts and exposed the fraud, corruption, and lies!

Sammantha, I hope you’re right and FBI pressure on Fernandez forces a huge dam break of information and evidence of just what has been happening in COT for over a decade. If people at COT are under “undue stress” from what is transpiring with this FBI investigation, they should have thought about their actions when no one was watching them. Tallahassee has suffered for years, and finally I’m at least hoping the guilty will be brought to hard justice.

FBI – make an example of Tallahassee that will terrify every city and county official in Florida. If elected officials won’t be honest willingly, at least maybe we can scare them into following the law.

Good info there Sam and it makes logical sense also when we factor in the fact that our commissioners decided to squeal out their thoughts on Fernandez prior to their meeting on Fernandez. Normal standard procedure is to say that “we will see how the commission decides at our next meeting”.
Yeah they are all skeerd to death over the prospect of prison. And the unexpected Nancy Miller abdication of her royal throne…yeah throw that in too.

Might as well get this out their now to help out Mayor Andy’s family – get him lots of white boxer shorts for Christmas – that is all they allow the male prisoners to wear in the big house. None of those colorful bulge enhancing undies a man like Mayor Andy likely loves so much!!!
Not sure about the ladies but most likely it’s gonna be their Christmas gift of those white really big undies your granny wears – no sexy Victoria’s Secret thongs disappearing in the back crack allowed for the ladies in the big house.
Hey you all gotta think about this stuff and start making plans.

He is hanging out in the wind on this and other as yet undisclosed dirty deals. City employees need to claim whistle blower status and dump the info on him and others. Gillum is losing it and Maddox is terrified.

At least a prostitute will stop screwing you once you are out of money.

All he did was follow in the corrupt ways of Anita Favors. The only difference is Favors never got caught. Fernandez needs to be terminated and a national search go out for a new manager. While on this topic, the city should be searching outside for a new city lawyer. Inbredded employees means same old business.

Now we need to clean house and start over with a new City Manager that can get an FBI clearance.

It is time to terminate.
