In reply to rb.

RB, I like Tallahassee – I attended FSU back in the mid-70s when Bobby Bowden was first hired, and missed Tallahassee during the 20-some years I lived in Orlando. My wife and I moved back in 2006, when our two daughters decided to go to FSU. Would like to stay here, but if the COT “insiders” win again, my wife & I are outta here too.
There are too many other wiser areas in FL to make me stay here if the voters can’t think outside their liberal-lockstep habits.
Tallahassee so far is voting in it’s own ruin, just like San Francisco, Chicago, and New York.

Just more, and more , and more of the same garbage heaped upon the local (stupid) taxpayers. The taxpayers have kept these creeps in position of power far too long (result of block voting), and no one has the guts to call their hand (takes the FBI to come into our community and try to charge these crooks with something, anything to get them out of government or related positions). Starting to feel like a Banana Republic I live in, and if were 25 years younger, I would be like gone out of here !!

Tallahassee Reports, thank you for doing the job that the Tallahassee Democrat inexplicably fails to do. Why they are incapable of putting together the pieces like this is a great mystery. They have a budget that is probably 100 times bigger than you all and a team of reporters and staff. Yet when I want to read about local corruption, I have to edit the TDO and come here.

Nancy Miller is one that needs to be investigated. She and her family cabal of government moochers have slinked under the radar for almost 10 years. And the waste and abuse by our local insiders is simply disgusting. How can the city just lose track of $1.2m worth of loans until its audited? Our city needs a clean sweep of these mother*******s.

In reply to Todd C..

Todd, I (along with many others, I’m certain) share your frustration with the the slow pace and/or lack of any indictments so far from the FBI. Whatever their agents may be politically, I hope their honor to uphold the law supercedes any party affiliation. If the FBI doesn’t find “sufficient actionable cause or evidence” to get indictments on COT officials, we may have our answer there about the political loyalty question. Too many crucial questions and evidence about COT misconduct have been raised by TR, Dr. Jackson (thank you!), and other Florida news publications that inarguably contradict any possible conclusion that there’s not enough corruption for indictments at COT – wherever such a conclusion may come from.

In the meantime, I’d like to remain optimistic and hope the slow-turning wheels of justice are gearing up a rock-solid case and a large pile of indictments.

It is too bad for Tallahassee citizens that the corrupt FBI are democrats too. I guess that is good for Nancy Miller, and Andrew Gillum.

Of course these character have an inside track – that’s what they do – this IS their job; this is how Tallahassee tax-payers get to continually support these characters and their families. The elected officials dance right on the continual ragged edge of illegal; I wonder what Ethic’s training Nancy Miller, Buss, Lewis, etc. have had – as if that is Goad’s answer to “The Problem Has Been Addressed”. More and more and more of the same….FBI – get it? How many more separate independent demonstrations of abuse of power are needed to demonstrate to your jury? Perhaps there is enough information at this point?

Why isn’t this nepotism-based-contract-awards a campaign issue for the forthcoming new Mayor and Commission members? Oh don’t forget to look at the Riley House funding – plenty of issues going on there….

Total waste of money. Raise the money privately.

Here’s a novel idea:
How about using the taxpayer funds on a millage rate reduction for property taxes that results in a $3M savings for us taxpayers?

Nah, that makes too much sense.
