Good comments.

“A forensic audit can be conducted in order to prosecute a party for fraud, embezzlement or other financial claims.”

So here’s the real question which Dr. Erwin Jackson is helping to address: How did Bryant rise to the level of being unanimously appointed with all this baggage? Simply done Illegally and in haste without TRANSPARENT. Answers.. Certainly AKA SOROR sister Commisioner Cox knew of this history? Mayor Dailey did your AKA appointee have any bearing on your vote (as she is your Director of External Affairs, correct) appointment? Richardson knew. But did Richardson take any of Bryant’s classes? So did Jeremy just go with the majority vote?

City Commissioners – if you are to gain any validity in the citizen’s eyes – start acting the part. You certainly completely blew this decision/action – now didn’t you?

Come on Gov. DeSantis – help our tattered City get back on track, please?

Perfectly valid questions have been raised especially regarding the legitimacy of the funding for the Bryant seminars.

I disagree with you referring to people questioning the validity of the seminars as “complainers”.

Two words … Forensic Audit!

I don’t know anything about AKA. But I do know that all of TLH (this time I hit the right key)’s social clubs that are based on work (Kiwanis, Rotary, NEBA, etc. —all historically more white than black, even though none have any exclusionary policies— suggest and refer people they know for opportunities because they know them in that organization.

Indeed, given TLH’s legal mandate to eliminate/prevent all discrimination, if it didn’t get the word out to organizations focused on minorities, that they know about, that would be wrong both morally and legally. And I’d wager that most employers find that applicants recommended by another of their employees are more likely than ones off the street to become good employees for the business.

It is NOT bad management to hire someone who is also in a social club with you. (I agree that it would be wrong to hire someone who was less qualified for a position, because you knew them personally, but as that is career suicide in most cases, I doubt that accounts for what is complained about above (not to mention that TLH hires professionals in HR to review all that stuff so that such favoritism doesn’t happen).

To give City contracts to an AKA Sorority sisters (Hendrieth to Bryant) one has to ask: was there fair/open procurement processes followed; if not this is simply illegal. It is also racially based, in the nature of that organization.

Having the City pay for a select City few (Black) NFBPA members (who are City employees) who conduct NFBPA [National Forum for Black Professional Administrators] meetings in City Hall; then travel nationally while getting paid their professional wages and then being preferentially promoted with pay raises – while the City pays for their NFBPA membership, travel, conferences while being paid their professional wages (and overtime) – is not only wrong; it is also racist and it is also misuse of Public Funds and it is also illegal.

How long has this been going on and what cost to the tax payers? What benefits do the citizens of Tallahassee obtain? NONE.

So FBI – look at the targeted misuse of these City Funds and who ‘authorized’ the use of them, when, the presented City justifications, the time invested that these people were paid and the overall cost incurred and the salaries and promotions given to the AKAs and the NFBPAs? Good question – Rosemary.

Rosemary, as a member of a sorority back in college, I can tell you they are not “professional” organizations. They are social clubs for young people and have no place in conducting government business. Its not “help” being given by sisters, its favoritism purely based on a college relationship. And to say it doesn’t hurt people/citizens would be wrong.

The school board attorney is AKA. It is worth reviewing who received (large) settlements or otherwise had their issues resolved without acrimony since she came on board.

Curtis Richardson:
An honest public servent would have already voluntarily released the text.
Regardless of what the City Attorney told an honest public servent that text would have been made public.
Curtis Richardson are you honest?
