Probably now is time for termination due to violation of gift laws. Can the new interim city attorney recommend to the new interim city manager to terminate the violators? That would be a step in the right direction.

Is there not liability for trying to bribe elected officials and public employees? Maybe we need to have a law enacted that would prohibit offering people things in violation of the gift law

When you are in private business this type of thing like free football tickets is totally OK and a normal part of how business gets done “In – The – Private -Sector”.
When you are serving the public in any sort of government position this type of thing like free football tickets is totally inappropriate and likely will subject you to 1). termination, 2) complete forfeiture of any and all retirement benefits earned including deferred comp for the elite, and 3) likely most important of all; just being proven to be the selfish greedy jerk that you are to the general public [including the FORMER Tallahassee lock-step lefty liberal D party line voters] which you were hired to serve.
Just saying.

In reply to Hope. The ‘advertising’ procurement/expenses on the City busses (as well as the bus financial system) needs independent audit and review also. So who will be taking control of StarMetro (and Bus Advertising) when Terry Lowe leaves for a second time (recall: Fernandez rehired Lowe after his 1st retirement)? And what are her credentials and alliance support for the NFBPA - National Association for Black Public Administrators (like Anita Favor Thompson and Cynthia Barber NFBPA’s City based support)? Inquiring minds/FBI may like to know?

In reply to Thomas C. Hooker. Mr. Pittman has a poor track record of chaperoning.

In reply to Fred. I have questioned this for years. Advertising at the airport is a revenue source for the airport and taxpayers. When you see city lobbyists and airport advisory board members advertising their law firms in prominent locations at the airport one must ask if this is appropriate at the very least. This started in the Marks era. I was shocked when I first saw this! I would like to see the contracts for advertising and what and if they were paying for the ads at market value. If they were not paying they need to be sent a bill. If they did pay I would like to see that evidence. It they were allowed free advertising this is a very serious matter and theft. No city lobbyist or airport board member should be allowed to advertise while in those positions. Again, more evidence of mismanagement on another level.

In reply to Mike.

Speaking of the FBI not wasting their time with city investigations that go nowhere, my faith has been restored this morning (Sat Jan 27) by this story: The mayor of Hallandale Beach FL just got busted by an FBI sting on three felony corruption charges. Good to know the FBI is looking into other FL cities besides our own, and am I glad they’re investigating here in Tallahassee!

So – all elected COT officials, long-time staffers, CRA personnel, and associated city cronies – be on watch. The corrupt party here in Tallahassee could come to a similar and abrupt end at any time.

In reply to Robert Williams.

Mr. Williams,
Specific naming of sources within the appropriate investigations is occurring. It’s just not occurring at this time in this article; your observation is valid though; your presentation weak; and your apparent support aligned with this crumbling corrupt system. Look at today’s headlines in the Democrat. 3 stories on the FBI investigation of COT; do a search for FBI and City of Tallahassee – it’s on the AP and nationally presented. There is plenty of reading material available; and PLENTY more to come. Watch the development of this story.

He has certainly gained a tremendous amount of experience hanging around Andrew, Sean and the master manipulator in chief.. Adam.. so his mis-understanding of ethics will make the transition seamless.
