Comments on: City to Rule on New Downtown Bar Across from First Baptist Church https://tallahasseereports.com/2020/12/06/city-to-rule-on-new-downtown-bar-across-from-first-baptist-church/ Online News Tue, 15 Dec 2020 19:07:28 +0000 hourly 1 By: WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot https://tallahasseereports.com/2020/12/06/city-to-rule-on-new-downtown-bar-across-from-first-baptist-church/#comment-244872 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 19:07:28 +0000 http://tallahasseereports.com/?p=218285#comment-244872 The city commissioners want to make voters happy, not developers. Of course the opposite is true if the developer has made sufficient “contributions” to the commissioners. The city attorney will find legal justification for whatever her bosses want to do.
We all know there are already enough bars downtown.
We all know the First Baptist Church is, in fact, a church and has been for over 100 years.
We’ll see where the integrity of our commissioners and our city management lies.

Churches are just as corrupt. Let them suffer as Christ did. Build the bar. It’ll go bankrupt in a year anyway.

I bet our Liberal Kings and Queens approve the request…..just my thought.

Enough ignoring City ordinances. Let’s go by the book.

MOST Companies would have done some research to MAKE SURE they can put their Business at a specific location BEFORE buying it………. UNLESS, they know someone with pull to get the rules bent for them……Hmmmm. Richardson is the only oldie left…….. maybe HE is training a couple of the newbies to……… Nooooo, he would do that would he? Lets see who Votes FOR it and that should tell us what we need to know.

Next door to the old Randzzle’a hair salon?

Its the way business is done in Tallahassee.
Proof?
Na you wont find that.
But a lack of this “proof” you bring up as a gotcha trap does not nullify the allegation.
These deals are done under the table.
Not every Tallahassee official and business person is as sloppy or stupid as Scott, Paige, or that Burnett fellow. And leave a clear trail even one of Jim Comey’s sleepy FBI weasels could follow.
Just watch how it turns out.
