The CSC is worse than a scam. It appears to be a $10 million annual fraud collected by Whole Child Leon on the backs of black, brown and poor children. Don’t forget that Whole Child Leon has Paul Mitchell of the Southern Group as treasurer of its board of directors.

Southern Group lobbies on behalf of Liggett tobacco company whose discount cigarettes are popular in poor communities.

Mitchell also has a role in CSC. That being the case, neither Whole Child Leon nor CSC, both of whom are lying bed with big tobacco, should receive a dime of taxpayer money.

Just remember… “Its all about the children”… oh, and the $45k a-year cubicle jockey friends and families insider employment program.

I remember when Sally Struthers said she “could make a dollar go a long way”.

… those were the day huh… 🙂

@ Snidely Whiplash
I do not think the Democratic loyalists will vote each and every one of them out of office because of this, mainly because I am sure they don’t read TR, because they can’t handle the Truth.

There’s already members bragging about how they’re getting money to do nothing on social media.

Ehh I think y’all are overblowing this one, the money will get paid back pretty quickly as the tax will take in, at minimum, a million bucks.

The bigger issue is the millage rate that the CSC elects to use for their year 1 operations. If they go for the maximum, they’ll be taking in 9 million bucks in their first year.

Most of all, the time for us to fight the creation of the CSC was last November, and fight hard we did. Unfortunately we lost and lost big.

Good insight there Hope. I would imagine everyone in support of Maddox living out of his district was also on the take in one way or another.
My theory regarding why only 3 pale face criminals were selected to make examples of is that even back in the day the FBI was operating on “critical race theory” and sealed off any evidence pointing to the non pale face local criminals.
Janson, Dobbins, and a few other attorneys able to get Maddox and crew get out of jail free cards dont come inexpensively. Yeah if they are not broke yet they are feeling some kind of way for being fingered as the fall guys so Gillum and crew can walk away.

News Maven is so right about the Florida newspapers. The Naples paper was so obnoxious during the DeSantis-Gillum race a Tallahassee Democrat reporter would join in with the Naples reporter and do pro Gillium articles that were so blatantly biased it was an embarrassment to journalism. Specifically, reporter Jeffrey Schweers would make “hay” of Maddox not living in his district and therefore Maddox should have been ineligible to run for City office.

But thanks to the Tallahassee Democrat, the local Democratic Party, the LC Supervisor of Elections, The Usual Suspects, and Chamber of Commerce who supported, promoted, looked the other way, and voted for Maddox’s corruption are actually sending him to prison. Had he been deemed ineligible to run for office he probably would not be going to prison. They don’t understand how important the little things are that will ultimately trip you up in the end.

Maddox and JT probably don’t have any money left and if they do it’s hidden?

If they’re not too busy “conspiring,” maybe Scottie & JT could front them the payola…I mean money.

If the Leon County Commissioners vote yes tomorrow I predict even our Democratic loyalists will vote each and every one of them out of office. The CSC is loaded with financial scammers for them to even ask for such a ridiculously high amount of money.
I understand the basic business principal of asking for more than you need then settling for what you really need.
But $400000. that is just insane.
