A lot was read into Miller’s recommendation, none of which may be true. With the number of contractors COT uses for services, how could the Democrat make a case against Goad’s appointment based only on gossip and rumor? It is unfair to this career City employee, with an excellent record of service, to smear his professional record without backing up the gossip with facts.

Is the Democrat treating the other two candidates in a like manner?

Just don’t piss Reese off… Re-structuring happens (demotions, firings, shifting of depts, etc) just ask Heath, Ivan, and many, many more. If he don’t like you, your gone (or made miserable until you quit)

Cynthia Barber promoted Reese Goad cause he was way smarter than she will ever be! He was the one that kept her looking like she knew what to do! I worked for Reese and he knows his stuff way more than any of the other two City Managers!

It’s genuinely puzzling to me why city officials like Miller and other COT Cabal continue with their usual suspect manevers (like large “grants” to city vendors who coincidentally owe the city large loan amounts and are posing as “community organizations”) – all this while Fernandez’ and Waste Pro’s lawyers are trooping into the federal courthouse and a grand jury is seated. Most folks with sense and something to hide would lay low, but not our COT.

Either the COT Cabal really thinks it can’t be touched, or they don’t have the sense to change their ways while the FBI is watching their game table. Maybe I shouldn’t be puzzled, just more realistic or cynical. After all, Hillary is still walkin’ around a free woman . . .

Two words: Cynthia Barber.

Barber promoted and emplaced Goad to this position and ‘they’ have to have Goad in this position to further Anita Favor’s/Barber’s/Mark’s/Gillum’s and Cassandra Jackson’s succession plan – to include the New Police Station and other storm water project (Miler/Buss) projects. This Nancy Miller maneuver is part of the ‘agreement’; look at the TAPP connection where Barber took over Miller’s TAPP program – where Miller was paid big buck$ by John Bu$$ just prior (and after) becoming Commissioner. Get it FBI?

Look at the CoT Succession plan now pulled from Public Record – except in email chains. The City has had this plan laid out years ago; aside from anticipating that pesky FBI investigation……; ask Lew Shelley, Burt Fletcher, AFT, John Marks, etc. all the latest other ‘Leadership’ Retirees.

But will Fernandez present this information under sworn testimony – in a plea bargain agreement …..stay tuned Tallahassee and Florida….; another good job – Mr. Stewart!

There are no bounds to the greed of nancy miller. For too long, there has been a group of people who are favored with lucrative contracts by the city commission and city staff. These people will always go along with what the city wants-no matter how infeasible it may be-in order to keep getting their perks and favorable contract awards. Not a healthy situation for the tax payers-it will continue under Goad. Goad must go!

Keep in mind that it was Reese Goad in his “official capacity” of interim City Manager who knowingly and gleefully pushed out the 100% falsehood (lair lair pants on fire) that the value of the tickets to the [“all inclusive, all the adult beverages you can drink, all the finest of foods you can eat, rubbing elbows with the Seminole Nation elite”] sky box bribes was $99.00.
These bribes were accepted by Reese Goad’s friends who are or were city employees at the time. The above mentioned 100% falsehood (lair lair pants on fire) came out of “Dirty Little Reese Goad’s” stink breath mouth in order to keep the guilty employees in line with the City’s policy which prohibits the acceptance of any “gift” valued at over $100.00.
Sorry dirty little Reese but you are fired with zero retirement benefits for Conduct Unbecoming a City of Tallahassee employee!
Ka Boom!!
Wow it’s true after Snidely has dropped the mic there’s really nothing left to say.
