In reply to News Maven.

The Gillum brothers were nothing short of a crime wave.
Let’s not forget Gillum’s niece.

He is sn embarrassment and a fraud.
This man has never held a real job and by his own words is a self described socialist.
I am amazed that the Democratic Party would put power over competence. They should be better than that. He’s an embarrassment and won the primary because the Democrats had too many in the primary. I am in disbelief that some of those credible Democrats are actually supporting this man. Anything for power ? Shame on you and such a disappointment that you would sell out and leave our great State in a mess.

In reply to Michael gravel. Some commenter posted a couple weeks ago that all 4 of Gillum's brothers are convicted felons. No idea if that is true, since I haven't seen it in the Democrap, lol.

Gillum has continuously propped up this Chief of Police, while violent crime has skyrocketed on his watch. All the while our Chief is diddling subordinates and touring the nation looking for his next gig. Now the City is facing litigation over a police officer that the Chief fired, because the officer discharged his firearm at a vehicle whose driver tried to kill him. I wonder why violent felons feel emboldened under this administration? Maybe Daniels will have the leadership to demand more from our Police Chief. If so, he will definitely be better than Gillum’s chosen one.

Day 27:

It is unconscionable that our mayor Andrew Gillum fails to acknowledge that we have a crime problem, does nothing about it, and even lies on national TV on Election night that there is no crime problem in Tallahassee. It is also unconscionable that the editor of the Tallahassee Democrat chooses to be complicit in the crime problem cover up. If I were mayor I would double the size of the law enforcement presence, present law enforcement would receive raises and special training to deal with the situation, and new updated equipment. I would find a way to pay for it. Surely, proper budgeting and a few less contracts to Adam Corey and Sean Pittman would be a start. The greatest sin of all is to be so arrogant and self-serving to not acknowledge it and to even lie about there being a problem.

Andrew Gillum performance record:

Crime rate – F
Hurricane management – F
Environment – F

The only reason Gillum is not completely failing in the economy area is due to Trump.

Typical response to increasing crime rates in most cities is to increase the presence of patrols and/or create a temp or permanent precinct. In Tallahassee, we move the entire police department! Makes one wonder who is financially benefiting from this real estate deal.
